The service started back in 2012, when the City of Houston began a contractual agreement with Houston Bike Share.

The program started with just 18 bicycles across three stations in Downtown Houston, and eventually grew to over 150 stations. Despite such rapid expansion, the company announced plans to shut down back in September of 2023. Houston City Council approved a $500,000 lifeline to keep the company afloat for nine months, but it was still unable to overcome its financial woes.
“Bike share systems across the United States have experienced similar challenges,” Jennifer Ostlind, Houston’s Interim Director of Planning and Development said. “Houston’s system has outlived many others, but we have learned that successful systems that serve more than just recreational purposes require corporate and public support to remain viable.”Michael is a Kingwood native who loves shooting hoops, visiting local breweries and overreacting to Houston sports.
