Returning Your Bike

Returning Your Bike

At the end of each trip, please remember to dock your bike properly. You can return both classic bikes and ebikes to any station with an open dock. 

Docking the Bike at a Station: Line up the triangle located at the front of the bike with the dock and insert your bike gently but firmly- don’t slam it! Wait until the light on the dock turns green to make sure it’s locked. If you aren’t sure, pull the bike by the handlebars to confirm it’s properly locked. 

Locking an ebike:
For an extra fee, you can lock ebikes to any bike rack. remove the cable lock from the holder and wrap the cable around the bike rack. Then place the pin into the lock. You will hear a beep when the bike is securely locked, with the LED ring turning green and then flashing white.
