Since RideKC Bike first upgraded to smart, lock-to bikes in 2019, we have been collecting and analyzing data from the system, talking to our peer programs in other communities, and listening to our riders’ questions and comments. We saw a common theme in our research: it’s time to make improvements and efficiencies that preserve flexibility and value for our riders.

 

“Love the service, need more bikes”

“Please put more bikes at Armour and Main”

Next, RideKC Bike will roll out the following updates on January 1, 2025:

 

 

Monthly RideKC Bike Members automatically get their next month’s membership for FREE when they return 20 or more out-of-hub bikes in a calendar month back to designated hubs.

 

 

 

Bikes parked at designated hubs are less likely to be vandalized or stolen, and more bikes at hubs means more users can reliably find a bike when they need it.

 

 

Classic pedal bike per-minute rate will increase from 10 cents to 15 cents per minute.
Electric bike per-minute rate will increase from 15 cents to 25 cents per minute.
