Citi Bike Offers Free Rides on Earth Day

Citi Bike is offering free rides Monday in celebration of Earth Day.

“Citi Bike wants to encourage more New Yorkers to complete a carbon-neutral commute this Earth Day. Not only is cycling a sustainable option, but it can be faster and it’s definitely way more fun than other ways to get around,” Citi Bike Market Manager Brian Geraghty said in a statement.

Riders can obtain their free day pass by downloading the Citi Bike app Monday, selecting a Day Pass, and entering the promo code EARTHDAY19.

The code will provide 24 hours of unlimited 30-minute rides.

This is not the first year the bike share system has celebrated Earth Day. Last year, the company also provided free rides as a means of encouraging the use of a sustainable and environmentally-friendly means of transportation to get around the Big Apple and select cities.
