There are a couple of ways to start riding!

From the app 

• Already purchased a membership? 
• Tap the “bikes” icon on the home screen of the Lyft app
• Find a nearby bike
• Tap unlock a bike and scan the QR code on the rear fender
• When the light turns green, the bike is unlocked. Remove it from the station, or if riding an original black ebike, remove and secure the cable lock into the pink holder
• Enjoy your ride!

With a Clipper card

See here for full instructions on linking your Bay Wheels membership with your Clipper card.

To unlock a bike, tap your Clipper card on the card reader located on the back of the rear wheel or to the card reader to the right of the bike you want to ride on the dock. 

Note: Your Clipper card does not pay for your ride; it only unlocks a bike for use. Payment is deducted from the payment card you have attached on file with your account, no deductions are ever made from your Clipper balance to use Bay Wheels.

You may notice some docks do not have LED lights, but instead have flip dots. If you’re unlocking a bike from one of these new docks, keep an eye out for a red “X” dot - this means the docked vehicle is unavailable. Instead, look for a green lock dot, as this means the docked vehicle is available for use.
