Bixi Fix

Montreal is by far and away the most bicycle friendly city I have ever been in, so Friday night I decided to rent a bike and check out the city. When I was in Barcelona I saw people riding bikes that you could rent, but I never took the time to figure out how the system worked. The company is called Bixi and they have a fantastic system for renting bikes.



You put in your credit card and a hold of $238 is put on as a deposit. Then you pay by the hour you use the bikes. You get a code to unlock a bike of your choice and then you can return it to any Bixi station. It is a really neat system.



The Bixi bike is a wonderful thing. It has a built in basket, fenders, headlights and taillights ( both work off power from pedaling ) three speeds and internal brakes. It is a very well made bike and fun to ride.
