Divvy riders have taken more than 14 million rides and pedaled more than 28 million miles since 2013, offsetting over 22 million pounds of carbon.
The system is about to get even more sustainable. This summer, Divvy will launch a new environmentally-friendly method of rebalancing its bike fleet using two new pedal-assist “Bike Trains.
