City adds 2,000 new Bixi bikes

CBC News, July 3

The City of Montreal announced Friday it’s expanding the Bixi bike-rental program several months earlier than expected.

By the end of the summer, the city plans to have 100 new bike stations and about 2,000 new communal bikes available to people in five new neighbourhoods, including Park Extension, Mercier/Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, and parts of Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

This will bring the total number of Bixi bikes to 5,000, spread out over 400 stations across the city.
