BikeShare,<\/a> a multiple award-winning bike lending program run by the Community Bicycle Network<\/a>, must find a new source of funding or the popular program will shut down. BikeShare is Canada ‘s longest-running and largest community bike lending initiative.<\/em><\/p>\n

This week, the program received a Bicycle Friendly Business award in Best Overall from the City of Toronto . BikeShare has also been recognized locally, nationally and internationally by numerous organizations including Transport Canada , the Green Toronto Award, and the Stockholm Awards for Sustainable Development.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We’ve won awards year after year from the city of Toronto , and have supporters across Canada and the world, but sadly this has not translated into a reliable source of funding,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Maogosha Pyjor, BikeShare’s Project Manager.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the last five years the program has put 243 bikes on the road, with 16 hubs across the city and over 2000 members. The program also has a mandate to reach out and serve Toronto ‘s underprivileged community. Despite this tremendous success, 2006 has been particularly challenging for BikeShare. Over the spring a number of yellow bikes were systemically vandalized which added to operating costs.<\/em><\/p>\n
