Bike sharing is a valuable transportation service that moves people around while moving communities forward. With low-cost options including per minute pricing or an annual membership, residents and visitors can easily pick up a bike at one station and drop it off at another station in the city’s network.

As an on-demand, sustainable, and healthy mode of transit, bike sharing complements your city’s existing public transportation networks to enhance mobility, wellness, economic development and quality of life. Bike sharing helps build strong communities — and most successful bike shares are the result of strong community efforts.

Our Mission In Action

Develop an Inter-Municipal System of Large Scale

Bublr Bikes currently has stations in Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and West Allis

Ensure Station Density and Connection

Bublr Bikes will build a contiguous, inclusive network, expanding from central hubs into many neighborhoods. No Bublr Station will be more than 1/2 mile from another station. Bublr Stations will be installed in locations based on the recommendations of neighborhood stakeholders.

Communicate Effectively with Customers

Bublr Bikes will provide simple, easy-to-understand instructions for ALL of our potential riders — residents, visitors, employees, etc. Bublr will provide English and Spanish content to connect with a variety of people, and add other language options as the network expands.

Be Visible, Active and Integrated

Bublr Bikes will engage with the city’s diverse neighborhoods and cyclist groups, relying on on-the-ground insight to build the Bublr network and user base. Bublr will reflect Milwaukee’s diverse population through board participation, volunteer efforts, and an ongoing bicycle mechanic internship for Milwaukee’s youth.

Create an Accessible System

Bublr Bikes is committed to creating a bike share system that is accessible to as many people as possible. A ride starts at $0.25 per minute, and subsidized and discounted passes will be provided to income qualified individuals. Additionally, Bublr’s how-to videos are closed captioned, Bublr’s customer service line is equipped to receive text messages and the Bublr website is compatible with screen reading software. Bublr’s bikes are also designed to be ridable by as many people as possible, with low, step-through frames and upright seating. Bublr also provides Adaptive Cycles for riders with disabilites. These bikes include, Side by Side and Single Seat tricycles and Hand cycles.

Build Encouragement and Engagement Programs

Bublr Bikes will develop programs — including pass giveaways, safety education, and a Bublr mileage challenge — to encourage first-time riders to try Bublr. Bublr will customize programs to serve diverse audiences, recognizing the distinct barriers each audience may face when considering Bublr Bikes.
