About Bublr

Our Mission In Action

Develop an Inter-Municipal System of Large Scale

Bublr Bikes has over 100 stations in Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and West Allis.

Ensure Station Density and Connection

Bublr Bikes will build a contiguous, inclusive network, expanding from central hubs into many neighborhoods. Bublr Stations are installed in locations based on the recommendations of neighborhood stakeholders.

Communicate Effectively with Customers

Bublr Bikes will provide simple, easy-to-understand instructions for all of our potential riders — residents, visitors, employees, etc. Bublr will provide English and Spanish content to connect with a variety of people and add other language options as the network expands.

Be Visible, Active, and Integrated

Bublr Bikes will engage with the city’s diverse neighborhoods and cyclist groups, relying on on-the-ground insight to build the Bublr network and user base. Bublr will reflect Milwaukee’s diverse population through board participation, volunteer efforts, and an ongoing bicycle mechanic internship for Milwaukee’s youth.

Create an Accessible System

Bublr Bikes is committed to creating a bike share system that is accessible to as many people as possible. A ride starts at $0.25 per minute. Subsidized and discounted passes are available to income-qualified individuals. Additionally, Bublr’s how-to videos are closed captioned, Bublr’s customer service line is equipped to receive text messages, and the Bublr website is compatible with screen reading software. Bublr’s bikes are also designed to be rideable by as many people as possible, with low, step-through frames and upright seating. Bublr also provides Adaptive Cycles for riders with disabilities. These bikes include Side by Side and Single Seat tricycles and Handcycles.

Build Encouragement and Engagement Programs

Bublr Bikes will develop programs — including pass giveaways, safety education, and community outreach — to encourage first-time riders to try Bublr. Bublr will customize programs to serve diverse audiences, recognizing the distinct barriers each audience may face when considering Bublr Bikes.

At Bublr Bikes, we’re a small but mighty team of just 7 full-time staff members. Together, we take on the challenges of running a bike-share network across Milwaukee—proving that even with a small crew, big things are possible. Every day, we collaborate to keep this non-profit organization rolling smoothly, ensuring our bikes are ready to serve the community.

While we're the core team, we couldn’t do it alone. We're deeply grateful for the support of our board of directors, whose guidance shapes our vision, and our members at large, who champion our mission. We’re also fortunate to have the help of our support staff, including interns and part-time staff, whose contributions are essential to keeping Bublr’s many stations operational and accessible.

It takes heart, hard work, and a shared commitment to make Bublr Bikes what it is—and we're proud to ride alongside our community every step of the way.
