Bixi, Montreal's new massive public bike sharing system, will be visiting Toronto to show us a demo. They'll allow us to try out the system to get a glimpse of what is possible in Toronto after we multiply it by 1000.
Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation, Community Bicycle Network, and Toronto Cyclists Union will be hosting the event.
Bixi memberships cost $80 per year. A user can take a bike out from any of the 300 stations throughout the core - a station is always only 200 metres away. The first half hour of your travel is free with prices rising quickly after that. Most people will only need the bike for a half hour at most before locking it up at any available station. You can see more of how Bixi works at bixi.ca
Is this something you'd like for Toronto?
Location: Southeast corner of Bloor and Spadina
