The public bike scheme chosen by Melbourne—BIXI—continues to expand following its choice by Minnesota in the US.
The Montreal-designed BIXI system has also been chosen by Boston and London. The Melbourne version will hit the streets in mid-year.
The first phase of the Minnesota operation, to be known as Nice Bike, will have a 1,000 bikes at 80 kiosks and will be launched in June.
The bikes will be located in the CBD, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus and surrounding commercial districts.
The system will operate on a non-profit basis, with income supplemented by sponsorship and by funds obtained from the historic settlement with tobacco companies.
The livery of the Melbourne bikes has not yet been revealed.
