How to Ride

  • Use the BCycle app map to find a nearby station
  • Select a dock number and follow the in-app steps to unlock a bike
  • When the bike releases, pull it straight back from the dock
  • Enjoy up to two hours of riding per trip*
  • End your ride by returning the bike to any open dock and waiting for it to lock

Overage Fees

  • Trips longer than 120 minutes (2 hours) without redocking will incur a $2 fee per additional hour
  • To avoid extra fees, dock the bike at any station every two hours—you can check it right back out and keep riding

* Bikes must be docked at a Red Bike station to end a trip. Riders are responsible for bikes and any associated fees if a bike is left unattended or goes missing.
