Your weekend plans just got a free upgrade–literally. Every Saturday this August, Citi Bike is handing out free day passes to New Yorkers, giving you the perfect excuse to ditch the smelly, sweaty, stinky subway and breeze through the city on two wheels. Whether you’re cruising to brunch, zipping through Central Park, or just flexing your calves along the waterfront, it’s your chance to live out your main-character moment, helmet hair and all.
The offer is part of NYC’s Summer Streets, the city’s biggest one yet, where over 400 blocks of city streets are magically transformed into car-free playgrounds for New Yorkers to bike, dance, play, and frolic freely through a mix of fitness, fun, and live entertainment.
🚲 How to score a free Citi Bike day pass
Redeeming your free Citi Bike day pass is easy! Simply head to the Citi Bike App and enter the promo code LYFTSUMMER25 in the Day Pass section. The codes are available while supplies last, and it’s recommended you redeem yours in the morning so you don’t miss out.
Normally, a Citi Bike day pass runs you $25 for unlimited 30-minute rides on classic bikes within 24 hours, so snagging one for free is certainly a steal!
And yes, wrangling a Citi Bike back into its dock can feel like an actual Olympic sport, but you’re going to want to make sure you redock it properly once you’re done riding–that is, unless you want your free ride to come with a side of surprise charges.
Sponsored by Lyft, the free Citi Bike day passes will be available on Saturdays, August 2nd through 23rd. And, as always, stay safe and wear a helmet! Happy riding!
Oh, and if you’re in the market for a side job (that doesn’t involve just sitting in strangers’ cars) don’t forget that you can make thousands by relocating Citi Bikes around NYC!
