WE-cycle Basics
WE-cycle is designed for short, transit-oriented trips. Whether you want to get to the bus faster or make a one-way trip across town, WE-cycle is there for you.
The first 30 minutes are free, for every ride you take.
After 30 minutes, Late Fees are: + $0.50 per minute for pedal bikes and + $5.00 per minute for e-bikes.
Interested in longer rides? Rent from a bike shop.
Sign Up
Riders must be at least 14 years of age. Riders under 18 years of age must have consent of parent/legal guardian.
Unlock
Unlock a bike using your mobile device or keycard. Wait for the GREEN light, lift the seat, and remove the bike. Timer starts with the GREEN light.
Ride
WE-cycle is here as a fast and fun way to get where you want to be. Just keep those trips under 30 minutes and they are free.
Return
Dock your bike, at any stations, in under 30 minutes to avoid Late Fees.
Firmly push your bike into a dock to lock it. Confirm the GREEN light to end your trip and your timer.
Ways to Checkout a Bike
WE-cycle Website
Best for: one-time riders, visitors, or anyone skipping an app download.
Select Unlock a bike at the bottom of your screen to view live bike availability. Select your station to unlock a bike and get riding!
The Transit App
Best for: the easiest overall experience, commuters, connecting to RFTA.
If you ride regularly, we recommend downloading the Transit App to ride WE-cycle. View live bike availability, and select your station to unlock a bike. Transit is also a great resource for multi-modal transportation users as it displays RFTA’s real-time bus schedules.
Keycard
Best for: ultimate reliability, spotty cell service areas, or riders who prefer not to use a phone.
You can also check out a bike with a keycard. A keycard is the most reliable bike checkout experience; cell service can be spotty at certain stations. Log into your WE-cycle account to request a keycard or pick one up at any of the following locations:
24/7, keycards on door:
- WE-cycle Aspen Shop: 465 North Mill Street, Unit 3
- WE-cycle Carbondale Shop: 695 Buggy Circle, B1
Pedal Bikes
The silver bikes are easy to use, conveniently available throughout our entire system, and completely powered by your pedal strokes.
E-Bikes
WE-cycle e-bikes are Class 1 pedal-assist bikes, meaning that a small electric motor (without a throttle) helps propel you forward - up to speeds of 19 miles per hour. These e-bikes make pedaling even easier, especially when biking uphill. Look for the blue and green e-bikes system-wide.
The Station
You may check out or dock any bike at any WE-cycle station. Some stations are e-bikeshare charging stations which will automatically recharge the batteries of docked e-bikes. The majority of WE-cycle stations are solar-powered thanks to the Colorado sun and our partnership with Skyhook Solar.
