RED BIKE

Red Bike is the region’s non-profit station-based bike share system. Red Bike offers a convenient, affordable, and active transportation option for getting around Bellevue, Northern Kentucky, and the Greater Cincinnati area (region). With 75+ stations located throughout Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, Red Bike makes it easy to hop on both an e-bike or classic bike to connect to work, errands, transit, and recreation.

How to Sign Up /How Red Bike Works:

1. Download the Bcycle app (available on iOS and Android).
2. Choose a membership or pass that works for you.
3. Create your account using your name, email, phone number, and valid credit card (to purchase your pass and for any additional overage fees)
4. Unlock a bike from a nearby station using the app
5. Ride to your destination, then return the bike to any Red Bike station and lock it.

Bikes are designed with adjustable seats, built-in lights, and baskets for carrying items.

How to Ride

• Use the BCycle app map page to locate your station.
• Select the dock number of the bike you would like to unlock and follow the in-app prompts to complete your checkout.
• Once the bike releases, pull the bike straight back to remove from dock.
• Begin your two hours of riding*
• End your ride by returning bike to an empty dock at any Red Bike station, waiting for it to lock, and repeating!

* Every hour beyond the two hours that a bike is checked out without redocking will accrue an additional $5 fee per hour. To avoid extra fees, check the bike into any station every 120 minutes (two hours), and you can check it right back out and keep riding!

*Bikes must be docked in a Red Bike station to end your trip and secure the bike. Users are responsible for bikes (and associated fees) that are left unattended or go missing.
