Blue Dat: One Hour. Every Day. On Us.
Residents get a free hour of Blue Bikes every day during September

Aug. 21, 2018

NEW ORLEANS – Been curious about Blue Bikes, New Orleans’ first bike-share program sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana? Now is your chance to take a free ride and enjoy a healthy, green way to both work and play in the Big Easy. 

During September, New Orleanians can ride Blue Bikes for up to one hour each day at no charge.

How it Works:

  • Riders with Monthly, University or Reduced-Fare Blue Bikes memberships will get an email with a promo code that they can use for a daily one-hour ride credited to their accounts.
  • Riders with existing Pay-As-You-Go memberships will not need to do anything; Blue Bikes will automatically provide the first hour of ride time every day at no charge.
  • New to Blue Bikes? Sign up at www.BlueBikesNola.com or download the Social Bicycles App from the Apple App Store or get it on Google Play. You will need to enter a valid credit card to create your Blue Bikes account.
  • The free daily hour can be used in increments or all at once! Additional ride time will be billed at 13 cents per minute.
  • Show us how you use your free hour on social media, with the hashtag #BlueDat. Riders can also tag Blue Bikes on FacebookTwitter and Instagram.

Remember to always lock Blue Bikes within the system area to avoid additional fees. Find an updated map of the system area at bluebikesnola.com or the Social Bicycles app.

As of Oct. 1, all Blue Bikes memberships go back to the regular rates. For more information on Blue Bikes memberships, the system map or to sign up, visit bluebikesnola.com. Details on the September promotion are online at bluebikesnola.com.
