BikeShare

BikeShare is not currently running, but you can read the information to get an idea of how the popular program ran and replicate it if you like! We currently rent out bikes at a cheap daily rate of $10.

We are also exploring ways to continue using our Bikeshare fleet. If you have any ideas please contact us!

BikeShare was an innovative community bicycle-lending program in downtown Toronto that provides its members with access to a fleet of bright yellow bikes. BikeShare was an active program, and visible part of Toronto's cycling culture, from 2001 to 2006.

Just show your Season's Pass at any conveniently located hub and ride away on a retro single-speed bike equipped with lock, bell, basket and reflector tape. Use the bike for a couple of hours or the whole day and then drop it off at any hub - not just the one you signed it out of.

Whether you need transportation for errands, shopping or to get to school or work, travelling by bike is a fun and healthy alternative to the car and a great complement to public transit.

Bikeshare is convenient and economical for anyone who makes frequent trips around town.
A Season's Pass can be yours for:

  • $30 student/low income
  • $50 regular fee
  • $75 supporter (name a BikeShare bike)

If you cannot afford $30, a minimum of 4 hours of volunteer service for any community agency or group will be accepted.

Season's Pass holders can borrow a bike for up to three days from participating hubs. BikeShare hubs are connected by an online database which allows Season's Pass holders to use any one of numerous destination or pick up points.

Each year BikeShare adds new hubs and expands our bike fleet. Expect locations stretching further west and further east. Find the hub near you.
