If you’ve been anywhere downtown Toronto in the past month, you have undoubtedly seen the racks of unique looking bicycles either on sidewalks or in parking lots, and chances are they have been missing a lot of bikes from their racks. That’s because they’ve been getting taken out and used - a LOT. After only a month of being in place, there have been 64,500 total trips on BIXI bikes in Toronto, and 28,830 were from just last week. Average that out over the 1 month that BIXI Toronto has been around, and you’re looking at 2,300 trips a day during a month when the sun barely shone once.

~ Great news from blogTO and Greener Ideal on the success of Toronto’s BIXI!
