Kicking off Bike Week 2021, The Metro Bike Share 101 class presented by Metro, Metro Bike Share, and LA County Bicycle Coalition is a 1-hour off-bike session (via Zoom) that will introduce participants to the Metro Bike Share system, including how to purchase passes, find bikes and stations, and lock and return bikes. You will also learn rules of the road and things to know to bike safely on city streets. All attendees who complete this course will receive a code for a FREE 30-minute ride with Metro Bike Share redeemable at any time. Metro Bike Share is also offering its 30-Day Pass for just $1 through the month of May with promo code BIKEMONTH2021. You can redeem this code online at metro.net/bikeshare or in the Metro Bike Share app.

Attendees are encouraged to participate from the comfort and safety of your own homes while we are all doing our part to practice social distancing and stay connected to one another.

Participants who complete a class feedback survey will be mailed a FREE pre-loaded TAP card and additional Metro-branded goodies (shipping limited to addresses in LA County).

Class size is limited. Pre-registration is required to guarantee a minimum number of participants. Register now to guarantee your spot! Once you are registered, we will send you a confirmation email and more info on how to join the class online.
