Dropbike is smart bike sharing. Dropbikes are not left at physical docks. Instead, dropbikes combine existing bike rings and racks with a smartphone app to create virtual stations. You can leave a dropbike almost anywhere you would leave your own bike.
Our vision is to use an old friend, the bicycle, to change the future of urban transport. Everyone wins with bicycles. They're green, healthy, affordable, convenient and on-demand.
If just 1% of drivers switch to cycling, traffic can be reduced by up to 18%.
Find a Dropbike through your smartphone. Scan the QR code to receive the combination for the lock. You’re set!
It’s all yours! We encourage you to wear a helmet, and you must follow all local laws while riding a bicycle.
Dropbikes can be parked at any haven. Havens are bike posts and bike racks marked in the app.
We are proudly Canadian. That means we always put our friendly foot forward first. Our goal is to work together and align the incentives in a way which ensure that everyone wins. However, our passion for speed does not get in the way. Our aggressive approach to friendliness means we are constantly pushing ourselves to think outside the box. It's one thing to hurt others on your way to success, it's another to be able to lift everyone around you.
We believe that knowledge comes from experimentation. We aren't the smartest, the prettiest, the most endowed. The only way for us to learn is to recognize when we don't know something, is move fast, and learn from experience. We believe that there's more to be learned by doing than by thinking.
Many startups believe in working long hours. We believe in treating ourselves like athletes-training hard, but never over-doing it. This means we take breaks to make sure we are brighter tomorrow. Intensity means never losing sight of the goal. It does not mean we work ourselves to the bone.
Optimism is not the same as happiness. Optimism means we believe, on average, the future will be better than the present. Optimism is what keeps us going when we hit rough spots. Optimism is what gives our work purpose. We believe the future will be better than the present, even if we don't know what it will be.
Dropbike is a sharing company, but more than that, we embrace the sharing philosophy. The fundamental part of what makes sharing, is letting go, dropping behind what you have. Which is why our name starts with drop, and then bike.
