Bikeshare is a public bicycle sharing system where bikes are available to individuals to use for a fee. In Indianapolis, a network of over 50 bike stations are located within a few blocks of one another on or near the Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene and Marilyn Glick and across the city near trails and bike infrastructure. Pacers Bikeshare bikes are available when you need them near your favorite spots, your office, or your neighborhood. Once you are done with your ride, simply dock your bike at any of the available stations.

Use the BCycle App to view the map and current bike and dock availability at any station.

A Pacers Bikeshare dock beeps when a bike has been unlocked or when the bike has been returned.

When the bike is unlocked, the dock beeps continuously until the bike is removed (or 30 seconds, whichever comes first). The green light will also flash from the time the bike is unlocked until it is removed from the dock.

When a bike is returned and properly inserted into the dock, the dock will beep three times very quickly, and the green light will likewise blink three times very rapidly.

If the red “X” is lit on the dock, there is a problem with either the bike or the dock itself. Try a different dock!

No, e-bike batteries do not charge at stations. Our team monitors battery levels and refreshes the batteries when they are low.

No! You can return your bike to any of our 50+ stations when you are done riding.

If you need assistance with riding Pacers Bikeshare or with your account, please call 317-653-1947 or email operations@indyculturaltrail.org.

While using the BCycle app is the easiest way to ride Pacers Bikeshare, you can still ride without using the app using a RFID card at our docks.

The Butler University Pass is a free, annual pass for 30-minute trips that you can redeem with a promo code.

There could be a couple of reasons for this, depending on the pass you used.

Pay-as-You-Ride: Usage fees for trips taken with this pass take a couple of days to process. Regardless of the bike you checked out, you should see a $2 per bike charge on the day of your trip. A couple of days later, you will see charges for per-minute usage fees and an e-bike checkout fee of $3.

IndyRides Free – Annual Pass: Usage fees for trips longer than 30 minutes bill on the first of the next month (i.e. October usage fees bill in November).

Annual Pass: Usage fees for trips longer than 60 minutes bill on the first of the next month (i.e. October usage fees bill in November).
