the bike

The bike share fleet includes cruiser bikes suitable for people of all shapes and sizes. Each bike has a basket, magnetically powered lights, and bike lock.

the stations

Bikes can be checked out for up to three hours and are available at two locations:  

Quatama MAX Station

Columbia Sportswear Amberglen

Bikes can be checked out or returned at either of these locations. 

The bikes are great for getting to or from the MAX Station, and also great for workday errands, coffee breaks, grabbing lunch, or a mobile meeting!

checking out a bike

Text the bike number on the rear fender to the phone number provided at the time of registration and you will receive the U-lock combination code to unlock your bike.

In addition to texting the bike number, please also text the location code for where you are starting your ride:
​
     MAX = Quatama/NW 205th MAX Station
     CS = Columbia Amberglen
     Anywhere else = Only bike number

Every check out that includes a location code will count as an entry into a prize drawing! The more times you ride and use a location code, the better your chances of winning.

EXAMPLES:

 
​To check out bike #10 at MAX

To check out bike #10 at Columbia Sportswear Amberglen

locking the bike

Always lock the bike when your eyes aren’t on it. Be sure the U-lock is securing the frame and not just a wheel or basket.

report a repair

The bikes are regularly monitored and maintained, but to report a maintenance issue, send a text with the following format:

​
Repair + bike number + location code + issue

EXAMPLE:

To report that bike #10 at Columbia Sportswear has a flat tire, text:

Repair 10 CS flat tire

general rules

At the end of your ride, please leave the bike at one of the designated locations. 

For your safety and to help encourage more bicycling in our community, please follow the rules of the road, yield for people, pass slowly, and tell your friends.

For any issues, please email bikeshare@wta-tma.org
