Reserve a bike through the app or simply pick one once at a Reddy rack. Check to be sure your phone’s GPS is enabled to find bikes available nearby. You will be given an account number and prompted to create a 4-digit PIN to which you will enter on the bike’s keypad. This will release the u-bar lock so you can be on your way!
Note: Steer safe – helmets are not provided by Reddy Bikeshare. Riders are encouraged to follow safe bike riding practices.
Monitor the duration, distance and cost of your trip on the bike’s LCD display or through the SoBi app.
And when you’re ready for a much needed break – whether you refuel at Orange Cat Coffee Co. or for the perfect photo op at Art Alley NF, Reddy offers a clutch “HOLD” feature. This allows you to lock your bike at a Reddy or any bike rack without ending your reservation. When you’re ready to hop back on, just enter your PIN to unlock. You’re allowed to hold your bike multiple times up to two hours. Be aware that you will still be charged for the time the bike is on hold.
There are a few ways to return your bike: drop off at the nearest Reddy rack, or any public bike rack within city limits for only a $2 charge. Once properly locked and the reservation is complete the screen will blink green, if not, it will flash red and sound an alert. Just tug the u-bar until the bike is locked.
Now that you’re up to speed, it’s time to get outside and get those wheels spinning.
Eligible riders must be 18 years of age or older. If riding with children under 18, visit Sight See Rentals for other bike rental options.
