Divvy is celebrating its one year birthday by rolling out a bike that’s painted the same color as the red stars on Chicago’s flag.
There is only one red Divvy bike and it will be in the system for the entire month of July. Anyone that finds the bicycle can post a picture or video on social media with the hashtag #DIVVYRED to win "gifts."
Some of the prizes include:
- VIP ticket packages from the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bulls and Pitchfork.
- Special experiences from Hotel Felix, Hotel Cass, Goose Island Brewery, The Second City and Chicago Architecture Foundation.
- Food and drink from Intelligentsia, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Roti Mediterranean Grill, Noodles & Co, Forever Yogurt and Lettuce Entertain You.
- Gear and clothing from Bern, Timbuk2, PoCampo, Cleverhood and Gap.
- Other prizes from Red Bull, Grubhub, Clif Bar and Zipcar.
Divvy said it has more than 23,000 annual members and nearly 250,000 daily passes have been sold to date.
"Even though Divvy is only one year old, it has already become a key transportation option for many Chicagoans and has changed the way we and our visitors move around this city in an active and fun way," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. "I encourage everyone to celebrate this milestone by getting on a Divvy bike and going for a ride."
