Are you attending a World Cup match or fan event this summer? Or maybe you're just navigating a city buzzing with soccer fans. ⚽️ Here are some tips for riding bike share to big events:
1. Plan ahead
* Decide what route you will ride ahead of time. Google Maps isn't always up-to-date, so we suggest the Regional Trails and Bikeways map! It's available online, and you can pick up a print copy in many area bike shops or request one be mailed to you.
* Check the venue's website for security notices - sometimes rules change for special events, and entry points may be closed, or bike parking may be moved.
* Park your car outside the busy area, using your Bike Share KC app to choose an area with plenty of bikes available.
* We recommend using a credit card instead of a debit card if possible, to avoid tying up your funds.
2. Park and lock up
* Use the Bike Share KC app to find a parking hub, or for a $2 fee, lock up at a street sign or other fixed object. Deploy the kickstand, secure the bike with the physical lock, and use the app to end your trip.
* Do not lock the bike to a bus stop or street car stop, handrail, or private property, and make sure you aren't blocking a sidewalk, stairway, or doorway. Basically, be considerate of the other people using the public space.
3. Don't panic
* Cell phone service may be spotty with so many people in one place. During especially busy times, you may need to wait for crowds to disperse before you can unlock a bike.
🧡Seriously. Don't panic.🧡
* If you are unable to end your trip and upload a photo, tap the ❓ button in the app to contact our real, human customer support staff. We will be in touch within 24 hours.
