You never forget how to ride a bike. It's an inherent skill and nothing beats the feeling of wind in your hair as you cruise roads, paths, or trails. To complement our incredible trail system and epic alpine road riding, Park City boasts a network of paved and gravel paths connecting Deer Valley and Park City Mountain, historic Old Town, landmarks like the McPolin Barn, Kimball Junction, and various neighborhoods and businesses throughout town.
To make the most of these scenic paths, Park City has the nations first public electric-assist bike share, letting you pedal through Park City with the help of a small electric motor. The electric-assist bikes act just like regular bikes but don’t have any complicated gears or buttons to learn, you just simply begin pedaling and the bike provides an extra boost to get you moving and up any hilly terrain without breaking a sweat!
Use the Summit Bike Share app to quickly find stations and check out and dock bikes!
Going for a Ride is Simple
JOIN - To start riding simply purchase a membership on the website, mobile app, or directly at a station kiosk. Riders can sign up for a Pay Per Ride, a Resident/Employee Annual, or Monthly Pass.
UNLOCK - Unlock a bike using the mobile app or tap your membership card/fob on the handlebars.
RIDE - Please consider wearing your helmet and enjoy the ride! FYI - keep your ride under the allotted time to avoid incurring extra time fees. Also, there is a secondary lock that can be used to secure the bike to a rack for any stops you need to make along the way.
RETURN - Dock your bike at any station. Listen for the sound to confirm that it has been secured and check the bike screen for the "docked bike" indication to appear.
On a weekend day, riding your own bike or using the electric bike share in Park City is one of the best ways to get around. Locals use the bikes all the time and often pair them with a bus ride or lift from the High Valley micro-transit service. It's a multi-modal solution that saves you the headache of traffic and fuel costs. High profile events such as the Kimball Arts Festival, Park Silly Sunday Market, or the Fourth of July Parade can create traffic woes for visitors and locals alike. Throwing your leg over a bike not only get you there safely and quickly, but it's fun too, making you feel like a kid again!
Pedal the Movement
Park City and bikes go together like peanut butter and jelly. And if you're not riding here, then you're missing out on a lot. All cyclists are welcome here to explore our magnificent trail and path network. For works, school, or play, smart solutions like the Summit Bike Share and electric pedal-assist bikes open up this great activity to everyone. See you on the trails!
Seeing Park City is probably—no, is—best seen on bikes!
