FAQ
Where can I park a BIKETOWN bike? In general users must follow BIKETOWN parking and service area parameters. BIKETOWN for All Members are charged $5 for parking outside the service area, a reduction of the general public $25 fee. BIKETOWN for All Members are encouraged to park bikes at BIKETOWN stations, but are awarded $7 monthly credit to cover out of station fees up to 7 times a month. After 7 times of parking outside of a station, other credits you earn from programs like Bike Angels can be used, and the card on file will be charged as a last resort.
What if I do not have a credit card or debit card? If you do not have a credit or debit card to attach to your BIKETOWN account, please send your full name, address, and date of birth to SharedMicromobility@portlandoregon.gov or call 311.
What if I do not have a smartphone or data to check out bikes? We have key cards that can be linked to BIKETOWN accounts. These cards let you unlock bikes without a smartphone by tapping the card to the back of the bike to unlock it. Please email SharedMicromobility@portlandoregon.gov or call 311 for more information.
What if I do not have a permanent address? Email us at SharedMicromobility@portlandoregon.gov or call 311. Key cards will be made available for pickup at the front desk of the Portland Building (1120 SW Fifth Ave.). We will contact you when it is ready.
