Divvy Temporarily Closed for Snow

Just got this email, so don't plan to ride Divvy home today:

 

 

 


Good morning.

Due to the weather, we will temporarily close Divvy at 12:00PM on Thursday, January 2, 2014 to protect the safety of our members and staff. No bikes can be rented after the temporary closure has begun, though any bikes in use at the time can be returned to any Divvy station with an available dock.

If you have any question about whether the system is open or closed, please call to speak with a Member Service Representative at 1-855-55-DIVVY (553-4889). You can also find the latest updates on the Divvy website, Facebook, and Twitter. Members will also be informed of closure and re-opening via email.



In December, we served nearly 45,000 trips, and we're looking forward to serving many more this winter.



Thank you again for your support and understanding.

Thanks for your comment. I will continue to spend my time focused on the issue rather than respond to this or any of your previous or future personal attacks.

Wow, this thread has 225 responses. Lots of different opinions. Luckily I have thick skin to brush off the "less than polite" responses. On the plus side it looks like the bad weather is reducing the high rate of bike thefts.

Actually, looking at this forecast for tomorrow 

Weather Condition III:

Winds up to 48 knots (55 mph/89kph),
Wind chill down to -75 degrees F (-59 degrees C), and
Visibility over 1/4 mile (402 meters).

Unrestricted travel and activity are allowed.

I'm wondering why more people aren't complaining about the Divvy closure tomorrow.  If these people have no restrictions in conditions way worse than we do, why can't divvy and half the city just stay open?

Hence my sarcasm meter on 11. This is the first winter for Divvy & bike share in general. Instead of griping on a forum that will acvomplish nothing, maybe folks should be writing in to then with constructive criticism or recomendations for remedies. Because otherwise they really do sound like a bunch of privileged & entitled upper middle class cis gender white people weather they are or not. Just a thought.

Here's a place to see school closures and such at a glance.

Every school nearby me that I could think of is closed tomorrow.

Griping on a forum like this only serves to...writing in to Divvy could actually create change. Maybe even let them know that they are doing a good job but if they did this, that or the other, maybe things could work better if you.... sorry to be so sarcastic sonetimes, but sone folx do sound entitled sometimes. We all love biking here. Divvy can aid us all in building more of a successful biking community. I'm for that whatever it takes to get there. When stuff fails, fall down, bust yoursrlf off, get up & try again. Yeah maybe we will lose a dollar here & there. They ain't getting rich. It ain't breaking us. Write them & tell them what you think. Aliens is on so I am outta here.

Encouraging news from NYC:

Drumroll, please... 6,669 trips were taken yesterday, when the temp dropped to 4°F in NYC (a 118-yr record for Jan 7). Well done!

It is encouraging, but if you're trying to draw some comparison between NYC and Chi on this, it isn't working. They had snow last week, but then the temperature rose and it rained leaving cold days with clean streets. It's a lot easier to battle cold without snow sludge.

Davis, please take your insulting, accusatory attitude elsewhere. It is not appreciated here. Thanks.
