Choose a pass that fits how you want to ride during Madison’s spring, summer, and fall riding season. Whether you’re taking a quick trip, planning a ride with friends, or commuting across the isthmus, there’s a pass for you.
Most passes include free minutes for each ride. If you ride longer, usage fees apply. Bike share works best for short trips, helping keep bikes available for everyone.
