Capital Bikeshare is DC, Virginia, and Maryland’s bike share system, and the first large scale bikeshare in the nation. Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) has thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations across Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Bethesda and Chevy Chase. Best of all, it’s available 24/7.

CaBi consists of a fleet of specially designed, sturdy and durable bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations throughout the city. The bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system, making them ideal for one-way trips. People use bike share to commute to work, meet friends for dinner, or simply cruise around and see new sights. After signing up, all trips under 30 minutes are free.

The CaBi App lets you purchase rides, unlock a bike, and ride right away. You can also view all station locations, see available bikes and docks, and get walking directions to them to start your ride.

The Capital Bikeshare app also shows upcoming public transit departures, including WMATA Metrorail, Metrobus, and shuttle lines, DC Circulator buses, Fairfax Connector buses, Montgomery RideOn buses, Alexandria DASH buses, Prince George’s County TheBus buses, Arlington Regional Transit buses, VRE trains, and the Silver Line Express.

Within the app, you can purchase the following:
Single Ride
Access Pass

Happy riding!

Capital Bikeshare App Comments & Reviews

Capital Bikeshare Positive Reviews

They try - to a certain extent!I was very pleased with how the app worked. Just a few simple essential functions but they worked well. The live map was accurate and the trip mapping function worked well. Yes, not all of the bikes are perfect (fix those loose headsets!), and the docks don’t always work (which can be discouraging when you finally reach your destination and hope to ditch the bike like a hot potato and you find the only empty docks are not working), but most everything worked well enough, enough of the time for this user who was there for a few days as a tourist. And customer service was right there to take any phone calls with questions. Unless you want to try the scooters, which look like an easier and more fun way to get around, the whole BikeShare system is pretty awesome. A great alternative to taking the Metro or using a car. The 30 minute time limit is sufficient to get from one place to another if you are a tourist exploring different parts of the city..Version: 12.15.0

Great Simple Useful.I found this app easy to use and extremely useful. Most helpful features for me is locating nearby bikes And the confirmation notification that comes when immediately upon docking the bike I found that most status data on breaks and docs available was accurate however a couple were way off. Another useful feature is the stopwatch starting immediately after the bike is checked out. The most desirable feature that isn’t implemented is being able to locate key dispensers. The online web based map shows that info but the app does not include it at all if you need to find a key dispenser forget about using the app for that..Version: 11.4.1

A Bad Start With A Happy EndingHad a HORRIBLE experience with renting my bike and ending the trip docking it. Was a little disappointed with how difficult it was for a newcomer to try to rent a bike for only half an hour, but this entire experience was negated by one of the most superior customer service experiences I’ve ever had. Marie (I definitely want to give her a shoutout!) spoke with me on the phone and was not only patient, but went above and beyond what I expected customer service would be for a $2 bike ride around DC. I had an issue docking my bike, and she was able to talk to upper management (without me even having to ask) and calm my fears as a first time user of the service. Now that I’m aware of how the system works, I would definitely recommend renting a bike through this company in the city (especially if you want to put in the exercise and save money over Uber, scooters, and other ride share/renting services)..Version: 12.14.0

Perfect Day!I was skeptical about using this app after reading through reviews, but thankfully went through with a $8 day pass and had the perfect day! We started in National Harbor and took the gorgeous Mount Vernon trail north. We did four separate rides and yes some bikes are more comfortable than others, but they all worked perfectly fine. When we reached our final destination there were no docking stations, but thankfully someone was working there and just unlocked a bike for us to dock ours. The app was so simple, I had no additional charges (changed out our bikes before 45 mins which was very simple), and had no issues with docking/renting. Absolutely recommend as a way to see the city!! Roads and paths are so bike friendly and gorgeous, you can’t go wrong here..Version: 15.80.3

Really love this serviceI have had a Bikeshare subscription annually for a few years now. For me it’s an incredibly good investment for getting around in downtown DC and Alexandria. I like the fact that you can rate the rides and leave comments on the bikes. although I have run into a few skanky bikes over the years, they continue to improve, coming out with better models. And now they have the E bikes which, if you can find one and if you’re in a hurry are really good for longer rides. And economic too. I recommend the annual subscription if you ride on a regular basis. Honestly, I rarely take my car into the city any more thanks to a combination of bus, Metro and Bikeshare..Version: 14.50.3

Great app, but numbers aren't always up to dateEasy to use, fast app. Gets you on a bike in no time! Taking off a star because the main benefit of the app (versus using the key) is to see the # of available bikes and docking stations. Unfortunately the app's numbers are usually inaccurate (sometimes wildly so!) which makes it very difficult to plan where to end a stop. Also, sometimes there is an available bike but the app says there is none, so you can only unlock it with a key. I will likely stick to using the key and my eyeballs but it's good to have a backup..Version: 12.15.0

30 min not enough timeWe’re in Nova where the bike stations are few and far between. The idea is awesome and we’re psyched to have a dock in our neighborhood, but of our 30 min ride 15 was going out of our way to find a dock to check into. Miami had a 2 hour limit, which was wonderful and left us feeling like we weren’t rushing. Here we wanted to stop along the W&OD, but couldn’t because we needed to get to George Mason ASAP. Forget about going out towards FC. The last dock is at EFC and navigating 15 min out and then having to turn back brings you nowhere. Great in theory for downtown, but not an enjoyable experience outside of town. And honestly, who’s going to be able to commute on a 3 speed on the Custis from EFC into the city in 30 min?.Version: 10.2.0

Thanks and questionCould the app give audio directions to the next place on our route? I find I’m having to go back and forth between google maps and bokeshare app to find my way. I’m an Infrequent visitor to dc so need all the help I can get. Also can you do something about all the construction and roadwork detours? 😶I love riding a bike around dc for a rock bottom reasonable price. Thanks so much for making that possible! Susy.Version: 10.2.0

Convenient and good customer serviceCapital BikeShare is awesome. My work provides a discounted yearly membership for unlimited rides which definitely makes me use the bikes more than I normally would. The locations are convenient. I can park and lot have to worry about locking my bike or returning to the parked location. I’ve only had one issue when my bike didn’t lock upon return, but the customer service was great and they easily took care of it. High recommend!.Version: 11.1.1

Misinformation re: available bikesConsistently, the app tells you bikes are available when they are not. Beyond being annoying and frustrating, this is da vero is considering women oftentimes walk a certain distance, assuming a bike will be available when it in fact is not & will not unlock. I called customer service & they said that the bikes werent unlocking because someone who rode it previously must have reported an issue. Ok...so then why doesn’t the app reflect this? It should show ONLY bikes that are able to be unlocked, not those waiting for maintenance..Version: 13.45.3

Day Pass made for an amazing day!We got the day pass our 4th day in DC. So easy! Unlimited rides all day. We rode to Georgetown and then parked the bikes and walked around. Got a new set of bikes and rode the bike path along the Potomac River. Parked the bikes. Had lunch. Got 2 more bikes and rode by the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials and back over toward the National mall. All the rides were included in the $8 price (for each) and there are bike stations and bike paths all over! Really fun day!.Version: 15.51.3

Service is Fantastic. App is NotI give CaBi as a service 5 stars. No question. The recent app updates however are subpar. The map used to be easier to read at a glance to know if a dock had bikes. Now the color indicators are ittybitty dots and the number of bikes is also pretty small. The login screens and UI are clunky, often asking me to input the same information two or three times on different pages. You could also use the map without logging in before, not sure why they took that away..Version: 13.28.3

Great once you get the hang of itHaving previously only used dockless share bikes in Beijing, the CaBi bikes are so nice! The app is straightforward and the route planning function is great. My criticisms aren’t with the app though: The way you choose a subscription level is unnecessarily complicated and the keypads on some of the docks are consistently broken, making it hard to retrieve a bike sometimes. Otherwise, great experience..Version: 12.20.0

Great bike-share model program!Capital Bikeshare is a wonderful program accompanied by a highly accessible app. I wish more cities were as bikeable as DC to see more programs like this. The only complaint i have for the app is that it doesn’t let you track your ride history better within the app (just to see how many calories are burned in a day of riding for example). Great work overall!.Version: 11.6.0

Looking on the bright side...Just got my 50th ride on Capital Bikeshare and couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve explored my hometown in new ways and had fun doing it! I love the app...I can plan my route and determine whether there is an available dock in advance - I can also help them move bikes if it fits my schedule too. Bonus rides await because my bike was just stolen, so I’m super grateful for my CaBi membership and awesome app..Version: 12.15.0

Intuitive app and great way to see the sightsEasily the best way to get around and see the monuments for the best price. We did eight dollars for unlimited 30 minute rides per day. I wish it were closer to 45 or an hour. That would give you a much more time to see the sides without having to interrupt your sight seeing pattern, but I am sure there is a rhyme to their reason..Version: 12.15.0

Perfect way to see The CapitolMy 12 year old and I were easily able to pick up bikes outside our Airbnb and had no problem finding places all around the city to dock them. The in-app navigation map was great. Made our visit to D.C. car free and so fun. On another note we found D.C. drivers very respectful of us on our bikes. After riding on the streets of Los Angeles this was such a nice surprise!.Version: 12.15.0

What happened to the trip details?I like the ease of the new scan feature, for those of us with annual memberships and no bike key (signed up through the old app). However, I miss the detailed trip reports in the old app. Being able to see the route you took as well as the accurate number of miles you rode on each trip made the app more interesting and engaging. New app is easier to use but boring as hell!.Version: 13.16.0

Good luck if you’re under 5’ 4”I am 5’3 and could barely reach the pedals with the seat on the lowest setting, to the point that I could not use the bike. Sure, 5’3” is on the shorter side, but I know dozens of girls in the 5’2”-3” range. Beyond that, I struggled getting the bike to release from the dock, as well as docking it when I was finished. Really like the idea of this so wish it was more suitable to people my height and docking was more efficient..Version: 12.15.0

PHENOMENALStayed in D.C. for 3 days and was able to find bike docks everywhere! Spent $17 on a 72 hour pass and it was worth every single penny! Was able to get from my Airbnb to downtown in 10 minutes and was also able to get to see all the monuments and museum and spent no money on uber and didn't have to deal with city traffic. Absolutely amazing.Version: 11.3.0

10th Ride completedThis has been my 10th completed ride and I am impressed with the access and quality of the bikes. In those situations where I had an issue the customer service was quick, friendly and most importantly resolved my issue. On towards my 100th ride..Version: 12.15.0

Great app! Make sure to have phone chargedThis app made buying the bikes and checking them in/out very simple. The only negative aspect is it drains your phone battery, so make sure your phone is fully charged or bring a charger. Overall, great app and bike rental! Highly recommend touring Washington DC with these bikes..Version: 11.6.0

The App Works Well......but many CaBi bikes and docking stations could use repair or improvement. Also, bicycling is great through the core parts of DC but once you try to go too far afield (like to Children’s Hospital) the DC road conditions can turn poor quickly and make it feel imprudent for cycling..Version: 12.15.0

Great app and service for DMV locals!I just joined Capital Bikeshare in September 2019 despite living in the area for the past 5 years, and the only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. The map interface is really intuitive and unlocking/locking a bike is really easy after getting it the first time..Version: 12.15.0

Best bike sharing app I've used so farFirst ride free. Apple pay compatible. Works flawlessly. Automatically starts a stopwatch when you undock the bike. Sends you a notification when you lock it back - and even notifies you if you locked it wrong..Version: 12.15.0

Biking in Washington is awesomeMuch better app than Toronto. Map occasionally out of date. Be careful about going to racks that are full..Version: 11.3.0
