Getting a bike in midtown is basically impossible right now.

I imagine the poor reliability of the TTC recently, combined with the mild winter so far, means that what worked for them in terms of rebalancing last December is not working this December.

Two more Bikeshare Stations were added since my last post on same:

On the re balancing issue, I'll come back to the York U area.............still ....in need of attention, though not quite as acute as when we last looked:

So time to dust off this thread...........
There were a couple of new docks put in back in January, but I didn't think it was sufficient at the time to merit a post.
However, believe it or not, in the midst of all this snow....another half dozen, plus one have since been added.
Bikeshare now has 869 stations city-wide.
Here are the new docks/stations thus far in 2025:

Apologies if this has already been shared - I'm super excited about Bike Share docks coming to the Green P on Pacific Avenue/Dundas St W - across from Darren's No Frills in The Junction. This will fill a gap and help with all the No Frills shoppers who cycle to or from the store; their bike racks are insufficient for the number of people who do.
I saw them pop up in January when they installed the electric vehicle charging stations but I'm guessing they will be activated in the spring? Looks like 24 spots.

Perhaps these will also be the ones that can charge e-bikes. It would make sense if they just did work for electric car chargers.

That's a good guess! There is one behind the shops on Bloor Street West (around Armadale?) next to a Green P and it's mostly eBikes so this could be similar.

A Member Motion to next week's meeting of City Council reveals that Bikeshare will be on the Islands this summer.
A large number of bikes........but curiously only 2 locations.

It seems like they should have a dock somewhere near the pier so that people can bike from the ferry dock and leave a bike there while they picnic/repose/swim/etc.

Doing that is a recipe for all the bikes to be at the pier by 10am and all of them to be back by some point in the afternoon. Unless the plan is to put bike share staff on the island for rebalancing, there will be yet another data point in favour of providing customers incentives to move the bikes around for them.

Looks like the target date for full roll-out of this year's Bikeshare expansion has slipped to year-end 2025.
Sigh.

If we measure the 180 stations from the beginning of the year, we're looking at ~1,040 by year-end.
We're at 879 today, so the remaining growth is 161 stations.
