Plan Your Divvy Trip

See Chicago up close when you bike around the city. Use the website to find a bike station close to you or your destination, check the station's capacity to find available bikes, and bike to the nearest landmark.

If you like to plan ahead, pick out a landmark or two and find the closest stations by looking at the map.

How to Use

Go to our website to plan your trip.

📍 Check Nearby Stations To find a bike, check nearby stations and look at their status to see if there are bikes available. Light-blue pins indicate stations full of bikes, dark-blue pins indicate stations with less than 5 bikes, and red pins indicate empty stations. When you're done with your ride, red stations are great place to drop off your bike.
🗽 Visit Popular Landmarks To add popular Chicago landmarks to the map, select the "Landmarks" layer view in the top right corner of the map. Zoom in to see nearby stations for bike pick-up or drop-off. You can click on Landmark pins to see their names.
🚲 Follow Popular Routes To add popular Chicago landmarks to the map, select the "Landmarks" layer view in the top right corner of the map. Zoom in to see nearby stations for bike pick-up or drop-off. You can click on Landmark pins to see their names.
🔎 Table View Navigate to the (table tab)[https://ruthhinkle.github.io/project-2/table] for a different view! You can search a street name to locate all of the stations on that street."
