HOW TO RIDE
find a bike:Find a station with an available bike on the Station Map. Insert your key into a dock or get a ride code from the kiosk or your Bluebikes app. When the light turns green, pull the bike out.
Get Going:The first 60-minutes of each trip is covered by your membership. If you ride on the same bike for longer, overtime fees will apply (like late library books!). Dock your bike within 60 minutes and you will not be charged overtime fees.
Return the Bike to a station:Never leave a bike unattended. Always dock your bike at a station and check for the green light before you walk away. The penalty for a lost or stolen bike is $1200.
