Getting started is easy!
It's easy to get connected with urbi.
Download the urbi app to have the freedom to hire and return a bike at any of the stations across the city. You can choose daily, weekly or monthly access for as many as 45 minute rides as you like. It's never been easier to get smart and start pedalling.
urbi bike share is a bit different to bike hire. We're all about short, frequent rides, more often; this means more convenience and more connected communities.
When you register with urbi, you gain access to our network of bikes, all ready to share for up to 45 minutes at a time.
We have numerous stations placed in your community - most within comfortable walking distance of all the hot spots you want to visit.
All you need to do is pick up a bike from a station near you, ride it to wherever you want to go, and return it to your station within 45 minutes. If you want to keep riding, we're not stopping you. Either pay an extended use fee or just pick up another bike and go again. You can do this as many times as you like each day, week, or month, depending on your subscription. That's the beauty of bike share.
