Detroit's first public bike sharing system will roll out to the streets on May 23.

MoGo Detroit Bike Share will launch to the public with a community ride at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday at the One Ford Place.

Detroit Bike Share plans to launch the city's first public bicycle rental system in late May.

Following remarks from MoGo Detroit affiliates and Mayor Mike Duggan, the community ride out will kick off on Second Avenue, outside of One Ford Place, according to a media advisory.

Riders will disperse and check into one of the stations throughout the city. 

MoGo finalized its station map, offering 430 bikes at 43 stations across the city.

43 bike sharing stations to be launched in Detroit area

Bike shares and ridesharing services will be key to the future of mobility in Detroit, experts said at the Detroit Policy Conference on Thursday.

On April 26, Detroit Bike Share revealed the system name "MoGo" and the red and black bikes in a press conference at its warehouse in the Milwaukee Junction.

MoGo stems from "Motown, motion, movement, mobility, Motor City," with "Go" representing the future of mobility in the city, Detroit Bike Share founder Lisa Nuszkowski said at the announcement.

At the station kiosks, which function in English and Spanish, riders insert a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card and receive a code to unlock a bike. A green light turns on once the bike is unlocked, then riders can insert the wheel back onto the station bike locks when finished. 

Monthly and annual membership keys can be inserted into the individual bike card reader versus the kiosk.
Pass rates:
  • Daily, $8
  • Monthly, $18
  • Annual, $80
  • Access annual (for people with state benefits), $5 
Bikes can be taken for 30-minute intervals within the time frame purchased. If a user exceeds 30 minutes, they'll be charged $2 to $4 for each additional 30 minutes. 

Lost bikes will result in a $1,200 charge to the user's credit card.

Users can download Transit App or CycleFinder to purchase a bike or locate stations and available bikes.

The $2-million project was funded through a federal grant, philanthropic support from Hudson Webber Foundation, Knight Foundation and Kresge Foundation and sponsorships from Henry Ford Health System and HAP.
