History

DecoBike was rolled out on March 15, 2011 with approximately 60 kiosks & 500 bikes throughout Miami Beach. [1] [2] By 2014, the program has exceeded 3 million rides and had around 100 kiosks with 1,000 bikes. [2] [3] In October 2014, the bike-share program changed its name to Citi Bike Miami, reflecting sponsorship from Citibank. [4] Citi Bike Miami has plans to link the Miami Beach and Miami systems by the end of January 2015. [4]
