BIKETOWN
BIKETOWN For All

Equity on two wheels

We’re working with the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to expand access to bikeshare, and we’re proud to offer $0 BIKETOWN memberships for qualifying residents.

More rides. More often. For less.

BIKETOWN for All is part of our ongoing effort to help create safer and healthier communities, pursue equality, and celebrate the diversity that makes our city so incredible.

Same benefits. Lower price.

Members get free unlocks, ebike ride credit—and a whole lot more.

Note: BIKETOWN Scooters are not included in BIKETOWN for All benefits but you may qualify for the Scooter Community Pass. Learn more here.

If you have a credit card, debit card, or prepaid card, you can sign up online.

If you're an active Biketown for All member and you don't have a smartphone or have limited access to a data plan you can request a key card to unlock BIKETOWN ebikes.

You may reach us via email at biketownforall@lyft.com to coordinate an in-person pick up from our office in the Central Eastside Industrial District during the hours of 9 am to 4 pm from Monday to Thursday.
