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.

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.

Ways to Checkout a Bike_Keycard

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.
