More about Dropbike and this engagement:

Dropbike Inc. is a privately-owned company, permitted to operate in Kingston through a licensing agreement with the City. This agreement was signed following a successful pilot program in 2017 that made 100 Dropbikes available around the downtown core and at Queen’s University. The City committed to a three-year contract with Dropbike to run a city-wide bike-sharing program and in May 2019, Dropbike launched a full-scale community bike-share program.

Over the course of the season, close to 4,000 trips were made on Dropbike bicycles, and approximately 18,200 kilometres were travelled.

Community bike-share programs provide a healthy and affordable transportation option to residents and tourists. Travelling by bicycle helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and vehicle congestion, and supports a vibrant and active city.

Dropbike bicycles are now stored for winter, and the City is evaluating the first season.
