Mobi bike No. 1079 took its first recorded trip on Jan. 12, 2017, leaving the docking station on the seawall under the Cambie Bridge at about 5 p.m.

It was -2 C and dark. The bike went about one kilometre — probably along the seawall — to Ontario Street, where the trip ended.

The ride took about 4½ minutes.

Since that inaugural trip, bike No. 1079 has logged more than 17,300 kilometres over 2,263 trips, giving it the distinction of the most-travelled bike in the city’s Mobi bike-share network, according to a Postmedia News analysis of system data published online .

(While the bike-share system launched in summer 2016, Mobi system data goes back only to 2017.)

Bike No. 1079 isn’t the only long-distance rider. Nearly 90 bikes in the network have travelled over 10,000 kilometres sinc
