Ride all winter: Milwaukee's Bublr Bikes will be available in cold weather months

MILWAUKEE -- For the first time, Bublr Bikes in the Milwaukee area will be available to ride all winter long.

A total of 26 Bublr Stations will be open throughout the winter months. However, the 411 East Wisconsin and Cathedral Square stations have been removed for winter.

Officials say the Bublr Bikes are checked regularly by bike mechanics and can withstand the rigors of winter riding. Staff are expected to clean station equipment weekly to remove salt and grit.

In the event of severe weather conditions, Bublr Stations will shut down. If that happens, Bublr Pass holders will be notified via email.
