What are these RideKC pedal bikes like?
Imagine a bike that is always ready to ride, where and when you want to ride it. The tires are always inflated and the chain is never rusty. A bike with a basket to carry your gear. A bike that fits people tall and small, with front and rear lights and a bell. A bike that’s there whenever you need it, and gone when you don’t. That’s a RideKC Bike. And it’s powered by the ultimate alternative fuel: YOU.
How do I find a RideKC Bike in Johnson County?
RideKC Bikes will be located at seven parks in Johnson County, and precise hub locations can be found using the RideKC Bike app on your smartphone.
How much does it cost?
Bikes are $1.00 to unlock; after that, they're $0.10 per minute.
How do I check out a bike?
Scan the QR code on any RideKC Bike to unlock the bike and start your ride. Be sure to setup the RideKC Bike app and load a payment method before scanning.
How do I lock the bike?
Every bike has both a cable lock that wraps around a fixed object and wheel lock that automatically closes through the rear wheel. Wrap the cable lock around the bike rack at a RideKC Bike hub, insert the end into the wheel lock, and use the RideKC Bike app to end your trip and lock the bike.
Where can I return the bike?
Bikes may be checked out of and returned to any hub in the participating parks. Check the RideKC Bike app to find the hub(s) closest to you.
Can I lock the bike without ending my trip?
Yes! You lock the bike and keep your trip open (place it on “hold”) if you need to leave the bike for a quick errand. Usage fees continue to be charted until you end the trip. When you are on a trip, tap the “Add stop” on the “on trip” screen in the app to hold the bike. To restart your trip/reuse the bike, tap “Resume” on the “on trip” screen in the app.
What is "hibernation season"?
All Lenexa, Johnson County Park & Recreation District, and Aspiria bikes, and a portion of the Kansas City, KS fleet will be out of service starting December 1. Each year, the bikes in these fleets get a full tune-up over the winter months to prepare them for the busy spring biking season. In accordance with RideKC Bike's agreements with our partners, the fleets will be hibernating from December until March.
If you are a RideKC Bike member, your membership works in all of our systems. Use the RideKC Bike app to find bikes in KCMO, KCK, and North Kansas City all year round!
