Divvy had a record-breaking summer, and it’s exciting to see more Chicagoans choosing biking as a convenient way to get around our city. We’ve worked to make @DivvyBikes more accessible and affordable, and we will keep building on that progress so even more residents can take advantage of all that biking has to offer in @Chicago.
