Bike Share Toronto users will be able to ride for free on Wednesdays for the entire month of July.
“It is both going to bring some happiness to people over the course of the summer but also it’s a clever idea to promote the expanded use of the Bike Share program,” Mayor John Tory announced during a press conference at city hall on Friday.
With over 200 bike share stations across the city, users can access bicycles for 30 minutes without payment. Fees will apply if the allotted time is exceeded.

However, riders can avoid charges by docking their bicycles before going over the time limit and taking another one out for continuous use.
“I’m happy to tell you that two days ago, Bike Share Toronto set an all-time record registering 6,491 rides in a single day and those numbers keep going up as people discover this program,” Tory said.
Bike Share Toronto currently has 2,000 bicycles in operation across the city with 24 hours a day access, seven days a week.
