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 at any station using an Unlock Code or keycard. Remove bike when you see the GREEN light. Lift seat to release bike. Time starts with GREEN light after bike.
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
Get an Unlock Code from your mobile device. Just click the “Unlock” icon on the bottom of the screen to get your one-time Unlock Code. Input code into the keypad.
If you are a visitor, first-time WE-cycler, or looking to ride casually, you may prefer using the web app to get rolling.
The Transit App
If you ride regularly, you might favor accessing WE-cycle with the app Transit. Log in with your WE-cycle credentials, tap the station from which you would like to check out a bike and request an Unlock Code. Transit is also a great resource for multi-modal transportation users as it displays RFTA’s real-time bus schedules.
Keycard
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.
