Citi Bike Miami, previously referred to as DecoBike, is a bicycle-sharing system functioning within Miami Beach, Florida.
History
DecoBike began operations on March 15, 2011, featuring approximately 60 stations and 500 bicycles distributed throughout Miami Beach. By the year 2014, the initiative had recorded over 3 million trips and grew to nearly 100 stations with a fleet of 1,000 bicycles. In October 2014, following sponsorship from Citibank, the service was renamed Citi Bike Miami. The organization aimed to link the Miami Beach and Miami networks by January 2015.
The system extended to San Diego in August 2015, introducing 200 docking points and 1,800 bikes. Nevertheless, due to community objections in September 2017, 15 stations were removed from the Pacific Beach boardwalk area. By April 2019, local authorities in San Diego mandated DecoBike to dismantle its stations after contract violations were identified amid the rising popularity of dockless bike and scooter options.
