How do I extend my membership to a later expiration date?

If you have a 7-day membership, you can upgrade it to an annual membership by paying the additional amount necessary. To be eligible for this upgrade option, you must upgrade before your other membership expires. For example, if you bought a weekly membership for $15 on July 1 that expires on July 7, you can log in to your personal web page anytime before the end of July 7 and upgrade to an annual membership. If the cost of an annual membership is $75, you will have to pay only $60 ($75 minus $15) for the upgrade.

Annual members also have the option of automatically renewing their annual memberships by selecting Auto-Renewal in the Account Preferences section of their personal web page.

Go online to your personal GREENbike web page and suspend your card, or call Customer Service immediately so that we can suspend the card and prevent anyone else from using your card to gain access to a bicycle for which you are financially responsible.

A replacement card will be provided for a nominal fee.

While waiting for your replacement GREENbike card to arrive, you can check out bikes by using the kiosk at each station. You must present the credit card associated with your membership account.

How do I find my personal ride statistics?

Information about each member’s use of GREENbikes is posted to that member’s personal GREENbike web page. Members must log in to view the information, which includes such information as the date and duration of each trip, the station from which the bike was checked out and the station to which the bike was returned, the distance pedaled, the usage fee (if any), the associated calories burned, and carbon offset.
How does GREENbike calculate my miles ridden, etc.?

GREENbikes are equipped with an internal GPS device that tracks the bike’s trips. Other technology associates each trip with the member who checked out the bike. After this information is transferred to GREENbike’s computers, algorithms translate the trip information into estimates of the number of calories burned and carbon emissions avoided (as compared to the use of an average automobile for the same trip). If there are technical errors with the data collection or transfer, an estimate will be applied and clearly noted as such.
Can I buy more than one membership with my credit card?

When signing up online for a 4-day or annual membership, only one membership can be associated with a credit card. When buying a 24-hour pass at a kiosk, up to four memberships can be associated with a credit card, but the same card must be presented each time a bike is checked out during the membership period.

General Questions

What is bike sharing?

Bike sharing is a new way of getting around. It’s affordable, clean, and simple. It’s good for your health, your pocket, and our environment.

Imagine a network of bike stations located within a few blocks of one another throughout your community. As a bike-sharing member, you can unlock any of the specially designed bikes at any station and ride it to any other bike station. Fast, simple, inexpensive. It’s no wonder bike sharing has exploded in popularity the past few years.
What is GREENbike?

GREENbike is a next-next-generation bike-sharing program. It is a zero-hassle, zero-emissions way to get around town. It’s a bike-sharing program that meets the transportation, health, and environmental needs of our community.

GREENbike is the only bike-sharing program that measures the actual distance traveled on each ride and keeps track of the calories you’ve burned and the carbon emissions you’ve prevented. All this information is available on your personal GREENbike web page.

GREENbike is the future of bike sharing, and it’s available now.
What about the actual GREENbike?

Imagine a bike that is always ready to ride, where and when you want to ride it. The tires are always inflated and the chain is never rusty. A bike with a basket to carry your knapsack. A bike with front and rear lights and a bell. A bike that fits people tall and short. A bike that’s there whenever you need it, and gone when you don’t. That’s a GREENbike. And it’s powered by the ultimate alternative fuel: you.
Who is GREENbike?

GREENbike is a collaborative program with the following partners:
- Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency
- Salt Lake City Transportation Division
- Salt Lake Chamber
- The Downtown Alliance
- Select Health
- RioTinto
- Utah Transit Authority
- Visit Salt Lake

These partners share one common goal: changing the way you get around. And thereby changing our communities for the better. So grab a GREENbike from the nearest bike share station and we’re on our way.
How does GREENbike work?

GREENbike relies on the integration of hardware and software to keep track of members and bikes, and all the interactions between users and bikes. Proprietary GPS (global positioning system) and RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies make it possible for bike sharing to be so smart that it is simple for users.

All rides are tracked by the system and associated with members. Data such as distance, duration, calories burned, and carbon offset are captured and uploaded to personal web pages at greenbikeslc.org.
How much does GREENbike cost?

The cost to use a GREENbike is divided into two components: a pass/membership fee and a usage fee.

PASS/MEMBERSHIP FEE

The pass/membership fee provides unlimited access to a GREENbike system for a specific period of time, typically ranging from one day to one year.

USAGE FEE

Usage fees are charged based on the length of each ride taken by a member, and are typically broken down into half-hour increments. With GREENbike, the first half-hour is included and usage fees are only assessed for rides that exceed 30 minutes.
