Memorial Day was a huge weekend for bikesharing in America, and not just because New York’s Citibike eclipsed Capital Bikeshare to become the largest network in the country.
That was the biggest news, naturally, but lost in the shuffle was that Chicago is getting close to its own launch. They held a test-ride on Sunday, and will begin to sell memberships this week. The system will be called Divvy, and is expected to launch in June with 75 docking stations. By this time next year, DC-vet Gabe Klein is hoping to have 400 Chicago stations online.
