Cincy Red Bike Day Pass is only $10.
Renting a bike is a great way to enjoy the city. A Cincy Red Bike Day Pass grants unlimited 24-Hour access to bikes and all stations. A credit or debit card is required for purchase.
The bikes must be returned to a station every two hours to avoid overage fees. Do not worry, with the Day Pass, the bike can be checked right back out!
How it works
- Go to the Red Bike Station kiosk and purchase a Day Pass by selecting Start> Checkout Bike> New User. Riders need valid credit for payment, zip code, and mobile phone number.
- Once a pass is set up, select the dock number icon for the bike to check it out. The dock will beep for 30 seconds. Go over, and tug on the handlebars to disengage the bike from the dock. Adjust the seat and ride!
Remember, to avoid overage fees, the bike must be returned every two hours. It can be checked right back out at no extra charge.
Ride a bike for a fun, convenient way to get around OTR, Downtown, and the Riverfront in between concerts, dinner, and drinks. Avoid parking and traffic concerns on a Red Bike, and when riders are done riding, dock a bike at one of the 57 stations in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Each bike comes with a lock, key, baskets, and lights. There are several stations throughout and near the Riverfront Parks and several more across the river in Newport and Covington.
If there are any questions about how the system works, check out the website, or download the Cincy Red Bike BCycle App.
