Discover Austin from a new perspective.
Bikes aren't just eco-friendly transportation; they provide wider access to Austin and a breezy option for the last mile of your journey. Bikeshare (previously MetroBike) is a CapMetro operated system of electric bikes that get you around central Austin without having to buy a bike of your own!

Electrified
We started a rolling launch of our new, 100% electric-assist bikes and new stations. These new bikes offer a more stable ride, durable frame and automatic motor with all-pedal assist.

Integrated
Bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station. Stay connected to transit stops, popular destinations and areas where cars can't go.
Convenient
Purchase your pass, find your nearest Bikeshare station and unlock a bike all within the new Bikeshare app.

2. RIDE
All rides are 60 minutes max. Return your bike to a dock every 60 minutes to avoid being charged a fee of $4.33 for every additional 30 minutes. If you have a student/employee pass, day pass, 31-day pass or annual pass, you must still dock every 60 minutes.

3. RETURN
Push bike into the dock and hold until you hear a beep.
If you have trouble with a dock accepting the bike, try a different available dock or consult our FAQ.
