Divvy, Chicago’s popular bike share system, is kicking off its fourth annual “Divvy Week” on Earth Day, Saturday April 22.

Celebrating Divvy’s robust three-and-a-half years of operation in which Chicagoans and visitors have already taken more than ten million rides, the system will offer special promotions for both current members and those who want to give the system a spin for the first time during Divvy Week. The special offers include discounted 24-hour passes.  

“On Earth Day, and all year long, Divvy takes pride in its role of providing a sustainable transportation option for Chicagoans,” Divvy General Manager Elliot Greenberger said. “As we celebrate Planet Earth and the arrival of warmer riding weather, we encourage everyone to do so by jumping on a Divvy bike and exploring Chicago in a way that’s healthy for riders and the City’s environment.”

According to Divvy’s estimates, the system’s 10 million-plus rides have helped make Chicago a greener City, reducing carbon output from motor vehicles by more than 14 million pounds and saving an estimated 853,536 gallons of gasoline since launching in June 2013.

“Divvy Week,” which started in 2013 and takes place at the end of April each year, celebrates the success of the country’s second-largest bike share system and the riders that make each year better than the last.

Since Earth Day 2016, the system has expanded into Evanston and Oak Park, adding another 1,000 bikes to the growing system and bringing the city bike network to nearly 6,000 bikes across 580 stations.
