Bike share is perfect for short distance trips around town. Riders use bike share to get to work, school, and to access other forms of transportation such as bus and electric shuttle. Bike share is also ideal for running errands, going to appointments or meeting up with friends. Others use bike share for exercise or simply exploring the city.

A green light will appear on the dock indicating that the bike has been locked in the dock.
Fort Worth Bike Share bicycles were designed to fit riders of a variety of heights and sizes. Each bike seat can be adjusted for height using the black/silver lever below the seat. The seat post also has numbers, so you can remember your height setting for future trips.
Line the front tire the middle of the dock and insert the bike. If a green light appears, the bike has locked into the dock, and your ride has ended. If a red light appears, the bike has not been locked into the dock. If no light appears, the bike has not been locked into the dock. If a red light or no light appears, remove the bike from the dock and try re-inserting the bike into the dock. If you have trouble docking your bike, call Customer Service at 817-215-8600.

Pass holders can opt-in for auto-renewal when you sign up for an Annual Pass. The card on file will be billed the day before your Pass expires, so there is no stoppage in service.
For Pass holders who turn off auto-renew in their accounts, log into your account and click “Renew.”
While no form of transportation is risk-free, bike share has been designed with safety in mind. Our upright, cruiser-style bikes are built to be both durable and comfortable. Each bike has a bell, self-powered LED lights on the front basket and in the rear of the bike, and several reflectors to make sure it is easily seen by other people driving, walking or riding.

We strongly encourage all riders to wear a helmet to reduce the risk of head injury in the event of a crash."
Although adults 16 years and older are not required by law to wear a helmet, all riders should wear a helmet to reduce the risk of head injury in case of an accident.
