Divvy Bike Station Opens at U.S. Cellular Field

CHICAGO, IL - A Divvy bicycle station opened right outside U.S. Cellular Field this week ahead of the Crosstown Classic between the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs.

The station - one of 85 new ones added in recent week's as part of the bike-sharing program's second largest expansion - is at 35th and Wentworth, and will allow bike riders a "fun and easy" way to get to White Sox games, Mayor Rahm Emanuel wrote in a news release.

“This week, all eyes in Chicago will be on the great Crosstown Classic rivalry between the White Sox and Cubs, so we are very excited to announce a new Divvy station on the South Side right outside the home of the White Sox,” he said. “Divvy is an important mode of transportation that supports our environment and a key reason why Chicago has become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country.”

The Chicago of Department of Transportation added to that bike friendliness by recently installing curb-protected bike lanes on 31st Street between Michigan and LaSalle through the IIT campus

Valet Divvy bike service will be offered from 5-10 p.m. on Tuesday at the new U.S. Cellular Field station, as well as on Wednesday and Thursday at Sheffield and Addison on the North Side when the two teams battle at Wrigley Field.
