Bay Area Motivate Information

Bay Area Bike Share is the Bay Area’s bike sharing system with locations in San Francisco, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and San Jose. Bike share provides local residents and visitors with an additional transportation option for getting around the region. Bike sharing is fun, convenient, and affordable. The bike sharing system consists of a fleet of specially designed, heavy-duty, highly durable bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations located throughout a region. The bikes can be rented from and returned to any station in the system, creating an efficient network with many possible combinations of start and end points. With hundreds of bikes at stations throughout the region, Bay Area Bike Share is available for use 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The station network provides twice as many docking points as bicycles, assuring that an available dock to return your bike is always nearby. Bay Area Bike Share is operated by Motivate International. Motivate operates the largest bike share systems in North America. Bike systems in the Motivate family include New York, NY; Washington, D.C./Arlington, VA; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Toronto, ON; Chattanooga, TN; Columbus, OH; Seattle,WA; and Portland, OR.
