You’re a multi-tasking superhero. Your mission is to get a daily workout, keep money in your pocket and save the planet.

Consider Bixi Bikes your new secret weapon.

You’ve seen them sitting patiently at subway stations. They’re waiting for you to peddle them around the city in eco-friendly fashion for less than the cost of a bright red cape.

Bixi (a contraction of the words Bike and Taxi) was launched in Toronto in the spring of 2011 with 1000 bikes and 80 stations.

The concept is simple. Users pay a subscription fee for 24-hours, 72-hours, 30 days or annually. The first 30 minutes are free with your subscription. After that, you pay $1.50 for up to 60 minutes.

Your Kryptonite? Long hauls. The price rises the longer you use the Bixi. These bikes are for quick trips around the city not for leisurely rides along the Don. Being speedy with the return keeps bikes in circulations, allowing more people to take advantage of their awesome errand-running powers.

It’s a lot easier to whip over a few streets on a Bixi Bike than fight your way through throngs of people waiting on the subway or streetcar. Don’t worry about getting the bike back to its original pick-up point. Just drop it off at any Bixi station.

A Montreal concept, this super idea is slowly taking over the world.

It’s faster than hiring a cab; makes you stronger than sitting on a subway could; and you’ll be able to leap tall emotional barricades with the singular joy that riding a bike brings.
