City of Santa Barbara and BCycle Reach 2 Million Miles

The City of Santa Barbara’s Sustainability & Resilience Department is excited to announce that on February 15, 2025 our Bicycle Share Pilot Program hit a tremendous milestone: two million miles ridden on BCycle bike share bikes! 

Since the program launched in 2021, the bike share network and system ridership have continued to grow. With a fleet of 264 pedal-assist electric bikes located at 88 stations throughout the City, BCycle continues to deliver a sustainable transportation option for Santa Barbara that helps reduce vehicle traffic and parking demands and provides easy access to key destinations. Bike share is great for those trips that are too far to walk but too close to drive, and offers users an affordable, safe, and accessible option without many of the barriers to personal e-bike ownership.

In celebration of this achievement, BCycle is offering free 30-minute single ride passes on Saturday March 1. Download the BCycle app and choose single 30-minute ride when checking out a bike.
