Citi Bike Spring Ride Challenge 2026

Between warmer weather and longer days, spring is one of the best times to ride through the city. To help riders make the most of the season, we’re launching the Spring Ride Challenge—a limited-time opportunity to get back in the bike lane and earn a reward for riding more.

Here’s how it works:
Opt in: Enter code SPRINGNYC26 in the Lyft or Citi Bike app to join the challenge and get $5 off your First challenge ride.
Ride: Starting now, you have 30 days to complete 10 rides. Challenge ends July 8 at 11:59 PM local time.
Earn: Unlock $5 off your next five rides ($25 total).

What counts as a ride?
Whether it's a commute, a weekend loop through the park, or a spontaneous detour on your way home, nearly any individual ride taken on a classic bike or ebike counts toward your total. Rides taken as part of a membership or on a day pass do not count toward the challenge.

Get started
Once you enter the code, you’re in. You’ll get $5 off your First challenge ride, and all eligible rides will be tracked automatically in the app. Complete the challenge and you’ll get an email at the end with details on how to redeem your reward.
