CHEESE-IT GIVEAWAY: 24-hour Divvy Passes
I’m a huge bike-share fan. Whenever I travel, it’s one of my favoritest ways to explore. You can see my in-depth post about why Best Friend and I are members though we both have our own bikes.
The gist? It’s totally worth it!
How bike-shares work
If you’re not a member, you pay a fee usually in the $7-$10 range for a 24 hour pass, during which you can use any of the bikes an unlimited amount of times.
If you are a member, you pay an annual fee usually around $75, which allows you to take as many rides as as you’d like over the year.
The one caveat with both options is that you have to re-dock every 30 to 60 minutes (depending on what city you’re in, Chicago is 30). This keeps people from keeping the bikes out all day. Their main use is for getting from Point A to Point B.
Where I’ve bike-shared thus far
- Norway
- Denver
- Toronto
- Montreal
- Savannah (they have two docks, compared to Chicago’s 400+?; it was adorable and hilarious)
- Nashville
- Kansas City
- I tried in NYC but the blizzard caused alternate plans
We just pulled-porked our way through Kansas City last weekend and enjoyed a lovely ride along the river, in a nature park, and through an adorable neighborhood thanks to B-Cycle.
I love to find coffeehouses near docks and coffeehouse-hop my way through a new city. That’s how my Nashville coffeehouse-referral list was created.
Mac & Cheese and Divvy
Chicago’s bike-share Divvy has been a lovely Mac & Cheese partner for a few years now, offering hundreds of Cheese-Its the chance to test out the bright blue bikes. Thus, I’ve got a gaggle of 24-hour passes to gift you, sweet friends.
To snag a free pass:
- comment below and share a way you’re living a Life of Yes℠ — need a refresher on what that means?
- I’ll choose winners till I’m tapped out, replying to your comment with a congrats and a note for you to keep an eye on your inbox for your code
- you’ll enter your code at any dock when you’re ready to use your 24-hour pass
- the codes expire July 31st
If after trying Divvy out you decide you’re IN!, if you use this link to join, we both get a free month of membership. Bike-sharing is my jam. I want it to be yours as well.
My one wish is that the bike-share companies were connected so that I can use my membership wherever I go and not have to keep signing up and doling out money in new cities. Other than that, I’m in love.
And I want you to be in love too.

A few weeks back, when it was still earmuff weather, I went for a walk by the lake at Belmont Harbor. A couple from out of town rode up on their Divvies and asked if I could tell them how to get back to the Divvy bike dock that they couldn’t quite find as they took a wrong turn. I thought to myself, I’m so scared to get on a bike (I haven’t been on one in like 20 years at least, and I am really sensitive so not sure I could ever ride in traffic, I barely even drive… Read more »
Now that is quite LOY, Heather! What timing. Great story.

By making some hard but necessary changes in my personal relationships including having the TALK with my boyfriend and writing a letter to my estranged mom whom I haven’t talked to in 5 years.. In order to continue to LOY i have to address some of the stones in my path
Aie Trice, that’s difficult. But as you said, necessary. You’ll feel lighter for sure.

What a fun contest! I’m living a life of yes by challenging myself to move to a career field I’m truly passionate about. I’m two classes from completing a graphic design program and while I’m a little terrified of life after school, it feels amazing to be moving towards something I really want.
YES! I always say moving is better than being still, even if it’s moving backwards, tripping, falling. Congrats on challenging yourself, can’t wait for you to reap the benefits. Terrifying, yes. But also, the best!

Hey there – how awesome is this?! I live my LOY as best I can through pushing myself to write a book. It’s something I’ve been thinking about and saying to myself “I can’t possibly do that” for years, and a couple months ago I just STARTED. And I’m still going!
Oh man, you’re singing my song Sarah. I’m in the same place. Sooooo hard!
But that’s all that matters, that you started and that you’re still going. Good luck!

I am LOYing by working to wiggle my way into two summer grad courses I need in order to take a state licensing exam as a professional counselor. The classes are full, but I am committed to finding a way in (this week) so I can take that exam this fall and get an awesome job in the field I love!
Ohhh, good luck! I like wiggling. Things often work out, and if not, at least you tried. Hoping LOYness happens and you’re able to get in.

I started therapy this morning! I’m encountering roadblocks at every turn to Living MY Life of Yes, and need some professional assistance at clearing the way. Excited to work through this, gain some new strategies, and get back to LOYing.
Also, I really want to bike to work this summer, and what better way than on a Divvy 🙂
Yes Susan! You can do it. You’re moving in the right direction. And so love your plan to bike to work.

I’m exploring a masters degree in community sustainability so that I can help others live more fulfilling lives while I do the same.
The best combo!

I’m living my LOY by pursuing my Master’s of Social Work in order to work towards empowering individuals who are oppressed by structural injustice and stigmatizing mental health issues. I currently work at a community resource agency in Little Village to provide social services and interpretation services to Latino clients!
Love it, Megan! Such important work. Good luck finishing school and juggling work.
