spotted Toronto's newest bikes!!!
Permalink  

Last night during my spin along the MGT I rode past these suckers,

They're the new "Bixi" rental bikes and they were parked on Lakeshore just west of Spadina.

I was very surprised to see them as i thought they were only in Europe. Here's a shot of the pay station. I believe they can be rented by the hour and/or day and season passes are also available. Pretty cool!

Why rent a Bixi when there's a nice Cannondale free for the taking? ;^)

I saw some folks riding around U of T on the bixi... I'm going to have to try them out.  There is a bunch parked beside my work at Bay and Gerard.

Did a ride down the Don trail system and along lakeshore on Sunday and saw 15 or 20 people out on these things. I have to say I'm impressed with the rate of use I'm seeing.

In Montreal you see people in suits using them to get to meetings.  When there are more stations I could certainly see using them to get from say Bay and Dundas to King and Bay for example.

I think the annual membership for unlimited usage is around $100.  That is 4-5 times in a parking lot downtown.
