Bike Share

The Fermilab Bike Share is easy to join and free to use. It is available  to all Employees and Users/Affiliates holding a current Fermilab Badge.

Fermilab’s Bike Share bicycles are useful for going from building to building on Fermilab property. They are also a nice way to enjoy some of the surrounding beauty of the Fermilab site and get some light exercise as well.

 

How to Join…

Joining the Bike Share Program is a 2 step process

  1. Complete the Recreation Waiver in FermiWorks (if you haven’t already)
  2. Register via the Movatic App

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Due to the nature of the Bike Share program, the Bikes are not sanitized between participant use and we cannot guarantee that they are clean. We suggest that you take adequate protective measures to ensure your safety. When using the Bike Share bicycles, the use of anti-bacterial wipes and hand sanitizer can provide some personal protection for you. You should clean areas of rider contact, (i.e., handle grips, seat, gear changers, and basket areas) This is a good extra step prior to beginning your ride.

Consider wearing gloves while riding your bike. Always wash your hands after riding your bike. Avoid sharing helmets.
