How it works
It's so easy.
1. Unlock
Pick a bike, open the Lyft app (or tap your Clipper card), and scan the QR code.
NOTE: New 19-digit Clipper cards are not yet compatible with Lyft Bike.
2. Ride
Hop on and feel every block, breeze, and hill.
3. Park
Dock any Lyft Bike at a station for free. Wait for the green light.
Ebikes with a cable lock can be parked at public bike racks for $2. Ebike rides may automatically end if the bike is idle for more than 15 minutes.
Park like a pro
If the docks at your destination are full you can find open docks in the Lyft or Lyft Bike app.
Tap the "P" in the bottom right corner of the app to see all available docks nearby.
You can also choose an ebike with a cable lock and end your trip at any bike rack in the service area for $2.
If a station is full, you can secure your cable-lock-equipped ebike to a bike rack within 50 meters of that station without paying an Out-of-Station fee.

Ride in the same direction as traffic.
