Have you noticed those bright green bikes around
Santa Monica and Venice
lately?
To empower personal mobility, heighten livability, augment existing
transit, stimulate economic growth, and promote an active and healthy lifestyle
for residents and visitors, the City of Santa Monica launched Breeze Bike Share
in November 2015. We currently have 500 bikes and over 80 stations throughout
Santa Monica and the northernmost part of Venice. Just this last month we hit
the mark of 40,000 Breeze subscribers!
How is bike sharing "green"?
Biking is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint - for every mile you bike instead of drive, you prevent approximately .9lbs of carbon emissions from entering our atmosphere.

Our Breeze bikes make going car-free carefree! It's easy to hop on a
bike at one of the many stations around town instead of taking your car.
Another way Breeze is eco-friendly is that we use solar panels to charge
the "brain" of our smart-bikes. Next time you see one of our bikes on
the street, check out the solar panel on the back.
We also have a dynamo in the front wheel, allowing your pedaling to
power the built-in front and rear lights. Talk about power to the people!
Lastly, we use an Electric Vehicle to move bikes to areas of high-need.
You've probably seen it around town - give our bike technician Spencer a wave
when you see him.

We're here for you.
Happy Breezing and we hope to see you at the Mar Vista Farmers Market
Green Tent on January 29th.
