IS BIKE SHARE SAFE?
• Crash statistics from bike-share cities show that bike-share
users are less likely to be involved in crashes than other
cyclists
• Divvy’s visibility will create a great platform to further
educate Evanstonians on how to safely share the streets
• Divvy Bikes are extremely stable and sturdily built.
They are routinely maintained by
professional mechanics to check
safety features such as
always-on lights, reflectors,
chain guards, and bells
