Reducing fares with Bikeshare for All

Bay Wheels is proud to offer reduced-rate memberships to Bay Area residents who qualify for CalFresh, SFMTA Lifeline Pass, or PG&E CARE. The first year is $5, and then it’s $5/month after that. No annual commitment required.

Same benefits. Lower price.

Bikeshare for All members get unlimited 60-minute rides on classic bikes, reduced ebike rates—and a whole lot more. The easiest way to get going is through the Lyft app, but you can unlock bikes with a Clipper card as well.

Flexible payment options

We want to make payment as easy as possible, and we’re committed to providing options for unbanked riders. Members can pay via credit card, debit card, prepaid card, and cash.

Benefits

  • Unlimited free 60-min classic rides ($0.13/min after that)
  • Free unlocks
  • $0.05/min ebike rides (Max payment $1)

Requirements

  • Members must be 18 or older
  • Proof that your household qualifies for CalFresh, SFMTA Lifeline Pass, or PG&E CARE

Additional pricing

Parking an ebike is free at Bay Wheels stations, and costs an extra $2 if you park at a public rack within our service area. Leaving the bike outside the service area, or committing a parking violation—such as locking an ebike to a tree, signpost, or private property—will incur a $25 fee.

Renewing your membership

Participants can opt out at any time. After the first year, members receive a reminder email 5 days before their monthly payment is due so they can adjust their membership if needed.
