Come on and 'Take a Free Ride'
A Pacers Bikeshare program in partnership with Knozone
The Indianapolis Cultural Trail in partnership with the City of Indianapolis, Office of Sustainability are offering 100 FREE Pacers Bikeshare annual passes.
You ride for 1 year. We study your bike riding data for 6 months to get more people on bikes!
I’m Interested!
How it works!

Pacers Bikeshare team randomly selects from list

Why is this happening?
We want to better understand why or why not people ride bikes, and hopefully change behavior while introducing people to a fun, active form of transportation.
Indianapolis Cultural Trail Inc. and City of Indianapolis, Office of Sustainability are partnering to better understand bike share riding patterns and to see what happens when the barrier of payment is removed.
