About BIXI

BIXI is Montreal's bike-sharing network, launched in 2009. Thousands of regular and electric bikes are docked at stations across the city, ready to unlock for a quick ride.

It suits commuters, visitors and anyone who wants to cross town without a car or a bike of their own. Use it for a ride along the Lachine Canal, a trip to a park, or the last stretch home from the metro. It runs mainly in the warmer months, so it is a sign of spring when the stations come back. BIXI has become part of everyday life on the island of Montréal.
