Bike Chattanooga Celebrates 7 Years

  • Monday, July 22, 2019

Bike Chattanooga rides into its seventh summer of operations with a celebration and launch of its 42nd Station. Join us at Tatum Park in Highland Park on Wednesday, July 24, from 5-7 p.m. 

Food and drink will be offered courtesy of the Highland Park Neighborhood Association.

There will be opportunity to take a new e-bike for a spin.

A neighborhood group ride will be at 6:30 p.m. - RSVP to ensure we have an e-bike available for you. Pedal bikes will also be available.

The 24th is a Free Ride Wednesday, so enjoy a free Bike Chattanooga ride to dock at the new Tatum Park e-station for the festivities.

Some highlights of Bike Chattanooga’s seventh season:

Bike to the Chattanooga Zoo!  Bike Chattanooga added a station in Warner Park at the Zoo last week.  Check the CycleFinder app (free from the App Store and Google Play) to see all of the station locations. Available e-bikes are shown with a green station marker. Select a station to see the number of available e-bikes, listed with a circular lightning bolt, and purchase passes.

Officials said, "55 e-bikes are now available. Your commute or ride to lunch just got a boost. E-bikes are now readily available and make any Chattanooga hill a breeze. The new power in your ride and stations is made possible by the Lyndhurst and Riverview Foundations."

Try out Bike Chattanooga for free any Wednesday this summer. The Free Ride Wednesday Summer Series continues through August with free 24-hour pass purchases for unlimited 60-minute station to station trips while the pass is active. More details on the Daily Pass here.

Bike Chattanooga is the Chattanooga Department of Transportation’s Bicycle Transit System featuring 400 bikes and 42 docking stations for convenient, 24/7 access to a bike from the North Shore to St Elmo, from UTC in the east to the Convention Center in the west, and for full length of the Tennessee Riverwalk: Hubert Frye Center to the Wheland Foundry trailhead.  Each station has a touchscreen kiosk, system and neighborhood map, and docking points which release bikes using a member key or ride code.
