BikeMi presents the world’s first integrated Bike sharing system for adults and children.

Junior BikeMi is a Bike sharing service dedicated to children, but is completely integrated with the traditional BikeMi service. At a single station, it’s possible to choose between classic bicycles, electric bicycles and children’s bicycles.

All BikeMi subscriptions, whether annual, weekly or daily, are authorised to use the Junior BikeMi service. Only BikeMi members aged between 16 and 18 are not allowed to use the service, as they are themselves minors and are therefore unauthorised to take on third party liability. The service is also unavailable to members who have not yet accepted the new contractual terms and conditions, introduced in May 2015. For further information on how to accept these terms and conditions, please refer to the relative news item available on this website: /it/media/eventi-news/news.aspx#nuovo-bikemi-istruzioni-per-luso-14149

With just one subscription, it’s possible to take out up to 3 children’s bikes, in addition to an adult bike. The member may also decide to only take out children’s bikes, without taking an adult bicycle.

Junior BikeMi bicycles can be used by children aged between 6 and 10 and who weigh less than 40 kg.

Junior BikeMi is available as an integrated service at certain BikeMi stations already present in the city. It’s possible to take the yellow children’s bikes directly from the pillars in the stations, which have specially-equipped racks to house Junior BikeMi bicycles.

Junior BikeMi stations are located near to a number of urban parks.  Here is the detailed list of where to find them:

Taking out and returning Junior BikeMi bicycles is subject to the standard regulations of the service. The member simply selects which bike and how many children’s bicycles they want to take out, directly from the options present on the monitor of the stations that offer this service.

PLEASE NOTE: Children’s bicycles may only be returned to their dedicated racks, which are specifically labelled ‘Junior BikeMi’.

If a children’s bicycle is returned to a rack that is not authorised for the Junior BikeMi service, the system will register an error and charge a penalty to the member’s account. If the member is charged three penalties, their subscription will be automatically cancelled.

Junior BikeMi has all the same terms and conditions of use as the traditional service. The only difference is how much it costs to use the service:

€ 1 for the first 2 hours

€ 1 for each subsequent hour or part of an hour

for each bike taken out.

How to take out the Junior bikes:

- the member passes their card over the reader (yearly subscription) or types in their personal codes (weekly or daily subscription)

- the member then selects the type of bicycles they want to take out (Junior)

- the system displays the rack number where the member can take the children’s bike from

- to take out another bike (up to a maximum of 3), this procedure must be repeated (passing the member’s card or typing in their personal codes) for each bicycle taken out.

COMPULSORY USE OF A HELMET FOR CHILDREN

The member is responsible for the safety of the children using the bikes and is under the obligation to make them wear a helmet.

For further information, please refer to the General Contract for the service, available from the Download section of this website.

From April it's possible to cycle with BikeMi during the night.

The extension of the Bike sharing service during the night will start on Friday, April 1^st and will end on Tuesday, November 2^nd, 2016:
 
- from Sunday to Thursday inclusive, stations will be active from 07.00 am to 2.00 am at night.
- Friday and Saturday, the service will operate 24 hours a day.

 
Exceptionally, from April 12^th to 17^th inclusive, the service will be open 24 hours a day on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile.

The post-Expo Milano city will not go to bed early, thanks to two important news about mobility: BikeMi extends winter hours with one more hour of service, from midnight to 1 am, and night buses will still operate 7 days a week, until at least New Year’s Day.

BikeMi has launched in Milan the first example in the world of an integrated Bike sharing system between traditional and electrical bicycles, unique in terms of size, complexity and innovation.

By subscribing to BikeMi you will be able to use both traditional bikes and pedelecs (Pedal Electric Cycle) at any of the docking stations. Depending on the type of the bike you choose, only tariffs conditions change.

Subscription types and costs

Annual (365 days) € 36.00

Weekly (7 days) € 9.00

Daily (24 hours) € 4.50

Usage tariffs

The electric bicycles have different usage tariffs than those applied to the traditional ones.
In fact, only for the electric bikes, the first half hour is NOT free but it costs € 0.25.
The tariffs increase then progressively.

The bicycle has to be used to reach a destination and returned after that to be at disposal for the other users.
So it's possible to use the service many times during the day, but paying attention to return the bike maximum after 2 hours per trip in order to make it at disposal to the others.

Maximum consecutive bicycle use is 2 hours.

Service is automatically suspended if you exceed this time limit 3 times.

A € 150 penalty, besides the estimated supplements, will be charged to your credit card if the bicycle is not returned within 24 hours of its taking from the station.

Another bicycle cannot be picked up until the first is returned and 5 minutes have elapsed since return. 

How to pick up and return your bike

Every BikeMi station is equipped with a touch screen that allows you to interact in 10 languages.

How to pick up your bike
1. Type in your user code + OK and password + OK or place your card in front of the reader.
2. Choose the type of the bike you want to use between traditional and electric.
3. Take the bike from the slot number displayed on the screen.
4. Make a check of the main components of the bike and, if everything is okay, leave! Otherwise, hook up again the bike within three minutes and pick up another one.

2. Hook the bike to the rack. When the green light remains on, the operation is done successfully.
3. Try to lift the bike to make sure it’s hooked up correctly.

From USA to China, the Bike sharing system reaches more and more sensational goals
 
Bike sharing conquers the world
by Renato Scialpi on 29/01/2013

Even in too car-friendly oriented areas, Bike sharing is being a boundless success. So much that even Washington is at the top of the list in the United States. And the European leadership firmly belongs to Vélib', the Parisian system, with more than 20 thousands bicycles.
 
College campuses on both coasts of the United States contend for Bike sharing authorship. In fact, the idea comes from Great Britain, where both Oxford and Cambridge, the two University rival citadels, made cycle the backbone of mobility. But the first real bike sharing with registered users, in truth, was born in Lyon with Velo'v. At the end of the nineties, in fact, the public transport review plan was based on a tramway as strength line, supported by a proximity's mobility provided by racks for "public" bicycles at stops.
 
History apart, the bike sharing is enjoying a success that goes beyond the most optimistic perspective. Even in parts of the world and cities where you would not immediately think of this kind of mobility model. In fact, it is not surprising that the larger system at the moment is Hangzhou's - a Chinese city of 2.6 millions inhabitants that maybe one Italian out of a hundred can place it on a map - which boasts 61 thousands bicycles and over 2400 racks. Everything is controlled by a computerized system of course, but as far as numbers and technology, China ceased to be news some time ago.
 
At the second place of the world list - and this may be a surprise - there's Paris, a city that despite the ubiquity of the metro network and a too "car- oriented" road system, it has discovered an unquenchable desire to bicycle. Vélib' system already has 1450 stations and provides more than 20 thousands bikes. And if you have a look to the national data, France holds the record number of the cities equipped with bike sharing (29), followed by Spain (25) China (19) Italy (19) and Germany (5), results that may seem paradoxical, compared to the spread of bicycles in Germany and then in the Nordic countries, but in fact very logical: the presence of cycle paths, the availability of patrolled racks and areas for decades have promoted the ownership of private bicycles and bike sharing seems almost a whim for nerds.

Perhaps even more unexpected it's the success of bike sharing in the U.S., home of "car way of life". In these days Capital Bikeshare, Washington DC's system, has even won the title of best bike sharing in the country, awarded by the specialist newspaper Bicycling. And its promoters - in deep American spirit - are proud to be a private company that, albeit with some government grants, has a business plan that will allow them to expand in the coming years regardless of the advertising revenue (in Europe all systems live on sponsorships and on sell of adv spaces) and of any Municipality's disbursement.
After reporting that Melbourne has seen the birth of its bike sharing too, it's worth pointing out that in Italy the queen of the sector is just Milan, whose service "BikeMi" was born in 2008 and now it can count on more than three thousand bikes (3,010 with 173 stations to be precise). In fact the goal of the next months is getting to exceed 3,650 bikes and 200 stations, currently situated in the most central part of Lombardy's capital.
