BIXI in winter mode: Bicycle sharing in Montreal now available year-round

by Lorraine Carpenter

BIXI will maintain 150 of its stations spread across seven Montreal neighbourhoods, with bikes that have been modified for winter with studded tires and anti-slip pedals.

Today — the day after the bicycle sharing service traditionally shuts down for the winter — BIXI is inaugurating its winter mode, giving committed cyclists a public option for getting around Montreal by bike year-round. Through April 15, 2024, BIXI will maintain 150 of its stations spread across seven Montreal neighbourhoods, with bikes that have been modified for winter with studded tires and anti-slip pedals.

BIXI advises consulting the map of stations on its app before heading out. The service will be available 24/7, but could be interrupted by extreme weather, in which case notifications will be posted on BIXI’s website and social channels.
