The Burlington Blue Bike Project

July 12th, 2001:
 
The Bluebikes Project has come to a close. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us, and apologize that we simply do not have the manpower to continue any longer.
 
If you still need to contact any of us, email bluebikes@bicycling.com.


    The Burlington Blue Bike Project kicked off in the summmer 2000, when we stationed about 75 bicycles around the city. It was designed to give people free alternative means of transportation around the city of Burlington, Ontario. We stationed blue painted bicycles around the city in hopes that people would use them and drop them at designated spots for others to pick them up. Our hope was that during the warm months, instead of driving all around the city, citizens would be able to simply hop a bicycle and ride it where they were going, and leave it there, where others could use it.
