San Francisco’s bikeshare network is on track to record 5 million total rides in 2026.
San Francisco bikeshare has reached a major milestone. Riders took more than 4 million trips using the Lyft Bike system between January and September 2026. That's more rides than in all of 2025! If current trends continue, we could see more than 5 million bikeshare trips this year.
The city's bikeshare network is a vital part of San Francisco's transportation system. And this record growth shows it is keeping the city moving.
We have supported the network's growth by:
• Planning and maintaining San Francisco's biking and rolling network
• Installing more bikeshare stations and bike parking throughout the city
• Increasing the system's accessibility with the Bikeshare for All program
• Making the network safer through programs like Safe School Connections
Our continued investment in the bikeshare network makes it easier and safer to get around the city. And it contributes to San Francisco’s economic recovery.
Separated bike lanes make our bikeshare network more comfortable for riders.
A popular choice for getting around town
Thousands of people use the bikeshare network every day. In fact, our data shows that bikeshare ridership is comparable to ridership on some of Muni’s most used routes.
• In July 2026, there were more weekday bikeshare riders, on average, than 1 California bus riders.
• If the bikeshare network were its own Muni route, it would have been the 12th busiest that month!
Completing the journey
For many people, our bikeshare network provides a “last mile” connection.
A 2025 rider survey found that 79% of users connect bikeshare trips to public transportation. For these riders, bikeshare makes it easier to get to the office from a Muni stop or to get home from the nearest BART station.
Bikeshare ridership has set records every month for the last three years.
Supporting businesses and daily life
Bikeshare riders use Lyft Bikes and our network of bikeways to get to parks and visit with friends. But they also use the system in ways that directly contribute to San Francisco's economy.
• 37% use bikeshare to get to or from work.
• 47% use bikeshare to run errands.
• 22% use bikeshare to access healthcare services.
• 63% use bikeshare to get to or from entertainment and recreation.
As workers return to offices and the city’s tourism industry continues to recover, our investment in the biking and rolling network can give people more transportation options.
More locations and improved safety
Since 2025, we have added 25 new bikeshare stations. And we are planning to install 15 more. These stations will bring Lyft Bike service to more neighborhoods and improve connectivity throughout the network.
We are also expanding and improving the city's bikeway network. It now includes:
• More than 470 miles of dedicated bike lanes and pathways.
• More than 50 miles of “separated bikeways,” which keep cyclists away from cars.
And we are working on a plan to connect more schools to the All Ages and Abilities Biking and Rolling Network. That network includes:
• Separated bikeways
• Slow Streets
• Traffic calming measures on streets with non-separated bikeways
Bikeshare stations near transit hubs help riders make last-mile connections.
Bringing bikeshare to more riders
Improving accessibility to San Francisco’s bikeshare network also means making it affordable for anyone who wants to use it.
That’s why we have the Bikeshare for All program. People who participate in programs like CalFresh, PG&E CARE, SFMTA Lifeline or Medi-Cal can get discounted memberships and cheaper rides on Lyft Bikes. In 2025, we counted around 200,000 discounted bikeshare rides through Bikeshare for All. We expect that number to grow in 2026.
We want everyone to have a variety of choices when it comes to how we move through San Francisco. Biking is one choice. And we will continue to make it as safe and accessible as possible.
