Normally my cycling season is from mid-March to early December, depending on the weather. But I’ve been using winter Bixi this year and it’s pretty great. Hopefully it has been a success from an operations standpoint and they can expand the number of stations next year, because the lack of stations is the only real drawback.

It’s been a pretty mild winter for sure, I used to ride to work when I livedc closer to my job and honestly I only stopped in the winter becasue of the ice buildup edging me into the path of cars, especially on Bates which was more industrail back then. How are the winter bikes? Are they well maintained & cleaned?

I haven’t encountered a single dysfunctional bike yet which is actually a lot better than in the summer! Then again I’m often using Bixi for several rides a day in the summer, whereas this winter I’ve only been using it a handful of times per week.
