...Ride a Bike!

Divvy is a new bike sharing system featuring thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations from Andersonville (no, not yet) to Hyde Park (uhm, maybe), available 24/7, 365 days a year. UPDATE: Now installed on our freaking block! 



Each station has a touchscreen kiosk, station map, and a docking system.  For $7, you can rent a bike and use it for a 30 minute trip as often as you like for 24 hours.  Beware though, much like Blockbuster Video , they make the real money in late charges:

30–60 minutes	$2.00
60–90 minutes	$6.00
Each additional 30 minutes	+$8.00

So keep that heart rate up, know your surroundings, and get where you're going quickly.  Here's how:

1. JOIN using a credit card or debit card, purchase a 24-Hour Pass from any Divvy station.
2. TAKE a bike. When you buy a 24-Hour Pass, you will be given a code that you can type into the keypad on any dock with an available bike.
3. RIDE. You’ll get unlimited 30-minute trips for the duration of your 24 Hour Pass. Run an errand, grab a bite, commute to work or school.
4. RETURN the bike back at any station. Wait for the green light to confirm the bike is secure.
5.REPEAT as many trips as you want during your 24 Hour Pass period. Take any Divvy bike, any time! Enjoy getting around Chicago in a new way.
