Ride a Metro Bike and Make the Most CicLAvia—Heart of LA presented by Metro

Metro Bike Share is excited to return to CicLAvia—Heart of LA presented by Metro on Sunday, October 10 from 9 AM to 4 PM. Join us as we enjoy 6 miles of open streets. Bike, skate, run, walk, skateboard, and spectate; people of all ages and abilities are welcome!

Are you planning on riding a Metro Bike at CicLAvia? Here are some suggestions on keeping your day out with Metro Bike Share fun and easy:
  • 📱 Download the App: Save time and avoid lines by purchasing passes ahead of time with the Metro Bike Share app. For single trips, 30-minute rides are just $1.75 with the 1-Ride Pass. You can also unlock Metro Bikes, find nearby stations, and quickly contact customer service with the app.
     
  • 📝 Plan Ahead: Use the Metro Bike Share map online or in the app to find stations close to you and your destinations. In addition to the Metro Bike Share stations adjacent to the route, the Metro Bike Share team will be at 7th & Flower station with music, activities and other Metro Bikes to share on a first-come, first-served basis.
     
  • 🚆 Go Multi-Modal: We encourage everyone to arrive via Metro Bus and Rail and undock Metro Bikes in DTLA & Central LA. Plan your trip from anywhere in LA County by downloading the Transit app or visit metro.net.
     
  • ⏲️ Passholders, Keep It Under 30 Minutes!: 24-Hour Access, 30-Day and 365-Day Passholders get the first 30 minutes of all trips for free. For trips longer than 30-minutes, riders are just $1.75 each half-hour after. You can restart the clock by docking and undocking your bike at any Metro Bike Share station in 30-minute increments.
     
  • 🚰 Come Prepared: Masks are required at the Metro Bike Share tent. We also recommend that riders bring a helmet, water, snacks, hand sanitizer and some cash for souvenirs, food and drinks. If you plan to purchase Metro Bike rides on the day of the event, you will also need your credit or debit card.
     
  • 🔒 ... And Don't Forget: Classic & Electric Metro Bikes must be returned and docked securely at a Metro Bike Share station at the end of all trips. Do not leave your Metro Bike unattended. You will incur fees for improperly docked or missing bikes.

    Due to the large number of event participants, some stations will be busy and some may be full during and after the event. To provide additional convenience, participants will be able to return bikes to Metro Bike Share staff at the Metro Bike Share tent at 7th & Flower until 3 PM.
