Blue Bike Station – Fan Pier

This Bluebikes station at Fan Pier is one of the Seaport docks in Metro Boston’s public bike share system, which offers classic bikes and e-bikes for quick trips around town. Riders pick out any available bike and unlock it by scanning its QR code in the Bluebikes app, or with a key or the kiosk. At the end of the trip, the bike goes into an open space at any docking station in the network.

With more than 5,000 bikes and nearly 600 stations across 13 municipalities, the system reaches from Cambridge to Chelsea and beyond, so a trip that starts at Fan Pier does not have to end there. Bluebikes promotes riding as a way to save money and time and to go green. The program is sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts in support of community health and wellness.
