DecoBike (also known as CityBike) is a bicycle sharing system deployed in City of Miami Beach.
History
[edit]DecoBike was rolled out on March 15, 2011 with approximately 60 kiosks & 500 bikes throughout Miami Beach.[1][2] By 2014, the program has exceeded 3 million rides and had around 100 kiosks with 1,000 bikes.[2][3] In October 2014, the bike-share program changed its name to CitiBike, reflecting sponsorship from Citibank.[4] CityBike has plans to link the Miami Beach and City of Miami systems by the end of January 2015.[4]
In August 2015, DecoBike program opened in San Diego with 200 stations and 1800 bikes.[5] In September 2017, 15 DecoBike stations were removed from the boardwalk following Pacific Beach residents’ protests.[6] In April 2019, city officials ordered the company to remove its stations, citing breach of contract.[7]
