How to use the bike fleet
- We want you to stay safe on the road. Before you check out a bike for the first time, go through our quick Bike Safety Training and take the quiz. (It’s easy and only takes about 15 minutes.)
- When you’re ready to use a bike, fill out the Bike Check-Out Form at the bike fleet station. The form just asks for the basics: name, time, destination.
- After your trip, check the bike back in on the form. That’s it!
