How do you ensure a bikeshare system is built for the long haul?

Hear directly from our Senior Engineering Manager, Andrew Titus, Product Manager, Benny Wu, and Industrial Design Lead, Erik Askin on how our infrastructure is tested in the lab and on the streets of San Francisco. We can turn years of daily riding into just a few weeks of intensive testing to help mitigate maintenance hurdles and maximize city investments.

There’s a unique energy when a city prepares for a major global event. In San Francisco, that energy translated into more than 17,000 rides in just a single day. 🌉

From Google Gemini-branded bikes rolling through the streets to first-time riders discovering bikeshare, Big Game week showed what San Francisco does best: bringing people together and welcoming everyone who comes to experience it.
Bay Wheels was proud to be part of that story.

Regional bikeshare is transforming how people move across entire metro areas, and the numbers prove it.

In LUS-operated markets, riders have ditched nearly 195,000 cars because of shared micromobility access, and 81% use bikeshare to connect to public transit. Ebikes are taking this even further. Tenzin Choephel from Cambridge shares one striking example: Some Bluebikes riders are now taking 13+ mile trips to Salem — journeys that weren't possible before ebikes.

Partners from DC's Capital Bikeshare and Greater Boston's Bluebikes share what's behind the growth and what it takes to make regional bikeshare systems work seamlessly across multiple cities.
