The Public Bike System Co., known as Bixi, based in Montreal filed for bankruptcy relief this week.  Bixi is the equipment supplier for the company that operates Chicago’s bicycle-sharing program.  Bixi has supplied thousands of bicycles, equipment and computer software to operate the city’s program which is managed by Alta Bicycle Share, Inc. out of Portland, OR.  A city official said that the bankruptcy should not have a negative impact on the Divvy program.
