BCycle is Joining Forces with Bicycle Transit Systems!
Hey Buffs, we’ve got some exciting news to share about BCycle—ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Ʒ’s go-to bike share service! Starting October 1st, BCycle will officially become part of Bicycle Transit Systems (BTS), a woman-owned, LGBTQ-owned, and women-led company making waves in the bike-sharing world. BTS has been running bike share systems in cities like Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas for years, and now they’re teaming up with BCycle to bring even more awesome services to communities like Boulder.
What’s This New Move Mean for You?
Same BCycle, just better. BCycle will keep running smoothly as always—no interruptions to your rides! BTS will take over operations, ensuring the same great access to bikes that you rely on to get around campus and Boulder.
More bikes, more cities, more growth. In the last month alone, BCycle has added 45 new docks and 2 new stations at Kittridge West and Stearns East, giving you even more spots to grab a bike. Plus, BCycle has installed a 50-battery charging locker, making it easier and faster for BCycle to swap and charge depleted batteries for electrified bikes! After this acquisition, BTS will become the largest docked bike share provider in the U.S., offering services in even more cities like Santa Cruz, Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis. This means more communities will benefit from expanded mobility options, including electrified bikes, with BTS leading the charge in sustainable transportation.
Why This Matters
This acquisition is a game-changer. BTS is now North America’s only company offering fully integrated end-to-end services for dock-based bike sharing. With this expanded reach, BTS can innovate even faster, providing real-time solutions to meet city-specific challenges like climate change, equity, and safety.
As Bicycle Transit Systems Founder Alison Cohen put it, "
For Boulder, this means you’ll keep enjoying the same quality bike share system, while BTS continues to make improvements that benefit riders and cities alike. Whether it’s more electrified bikes, better customer support, or a seamless ride experience, you’ll be part of this exciting evolution.Ìý
