Thanks to the people of Bixi, we have a useful, realistic alternative in our attempts at commuting in the city. On my last visit to Montreal, I spent two days using Bixi and it cost me $4.64 a day on my credit card. Which I simply swipe to get a Bixi. Then I move amongst the 400 stations in Montreal which house 5,000 bikes.
Why is Bixi the Bomb?
1. Very inexpensive
2. No maintenance required
3. The bikes have undesirable parts (avoids theft)
4. The bikes are designed to last, are safe, and plentiful
5. Sure, your bike is better, but numbers 1-3 do not apply.
