MoGo For All is our way of getting as many people as possible biking! The estimated bicycle market in the U.S is $6.2b. Although the number of riders between the age 6 and 17 has decreased, it has been stable for riders between 18 to 24-year-olds. The number of bike riders has increased to 47.5 million riders in 2017. We want to add to that number and get people who haven’t, can’t or don’t have access to bikes out there riding.
MoGo For All gives people access to different options that other bike share companies don’t offer. Our Adaptive MoGo gives cycling options for riders of all abilities. The Access Pass helps people who are on state benefit programs get a costly annual pass. We even offer a Pay With Cash option for those that don’t have bank accounts. If you don’t know how to ride or want to gain more confidence while riding, our Street Skills classes will get you there. All of these programs help get more people outside to ride!
The Access Pass is a $5 Annual Pass for registered members of the following state benefits programs: Food Assistance, Cash Assistance/Family Independence, Healthy Michigan Plan, Children’s Special Health Care Services, and Child Care Assistance.
Adaptive MoGo offers cycling options for riders of all abilities! With 13 different cycles including recumbent tricycles, upright cargo tricycles, hand tricycles, tandem bicycles, tandem tricycles, and more, Adaptive MoGo accommodates a wide range of rider needs.
MoGo partners with PayNearMe so that you can pay with cash for any member pass, including Annual, Monthly, Senior Annual, Founders, Adaptive Seasonal, and Access. You can buy your passes at 7-Eleven, CVS, or Family Dollar.
MoGo Street Skills is a series of FREE classes designed to help you feel safer and more confident on a bicycle. It doesn’t matter if you’re old or young, beginner or experienced, MoGo Street Skills classes offer something for everyone. So far we have three classes announced this summer: Biking 101, Confident City Cycling, and How to MoGo for Recreation.
Have you seen the iconic reddish-orange bikes around Detroit? Those are from MoGo, Detroit’s bike share system. MoGo has over 40 stations with 400+ bikes available to the public. There are plenty of reasons to ride MoGo but we narrowed it down to just five. With MoGo you can explore the city at your own pace, take a ride from your parking lot to work or just get out for some exercise. If you’re looking for fun, healthy, inexpensive, and reliable transportation, MoGo is here for you.
MoGo works with the Transit app to create a better, healthier, and safer routine to travel around Detroit.
People are always looking for the best deal or a way to save money. MoGo is a cost-effective substitute for driving around Detroit City. At only $8 for a Daily Pass, which gets you unlimited 30 minute rides for 24 hours, MoGo is a cost-effective way to get around the city. We have plenty of pass options for everyone.
Nobody likes sitting in traffic, especially when you’re downtown. It is so much better to be riding along while looking at the sights instead of sitting in traffic. MoGo gives you the chance to stop somewhere; take a picture or enjoy the view at anytime. You can’t do that while stuck in traffic!
$20, $30, $40, and sometimes $50 is what you might have to pay to park in Downtown Detroit. Skip that dent in your wallet and MoGo to Downtown Detroit from one of our many stations outside of downtown. Ride in and park your MoGo at any station and enjoy the city. When you’re ready to leave, get a MoGo and bike back to your car.
Instead of grabbing your car from the structure, paying ride fare plus tip, or paying for parking, grab a MoGo and take your short ride. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can reach your destination!
If none of the last four reasons isn’t enough for you to ride MoGo, then do it for your health! A 30-minute bike ride burns off around 400 calories. Get to your destination feeling better and refreshed! See how many calories people have burned riding MoGo.
Bike safety month begins today, May 1st. Do you know enough suitable bike safety tips? You may not always think about safety when riding a bike because to a lot of people, riding a bike is second nature. Even the people who have been riding bikes for years should always be thinking about the safety of themselves and the riders that surround them. When talking about bike safety, it doesn’t necessarily mean bike repairs or mechanical issues. It consists of safe travels in cities, what gear to wear, where to ride and much more. Most of the bike safety tips are simple, can be done before and while you ride. We want you to get from point A to point B safely!
Before riding, lift the bike an inch or so off the ground and gently drop it in order to identify any loose parts that may need attention. Make sure the tires aren’t flat, the brakes work, and the chain is on.
Always limit the number of distractions while riding. Put your phone on silent, don’t text & bike, and keep those headphones off. Even without using your phone or headphones, you need to know your surroundings. Make sure you are looking ahead to see what you’re riding into. If you know the situation ahead, that makes your reaction time to a dangerous situation quicker.
You don’t always need to use hand signals when turning or stopping but they are good to know. They help while riding in a noisy city, with groups, and most importantly will help motor vehicles know what your route is. When crossing the road; look left, look right then look left again.
Before riding in any city, find out what their traffic laws for bikes are. A lot of cities are adapting bike lanes and require you to use them instead of the sidewalk. While it may feel safer, sidewalks are actually a more dangerous place to ride. Stay to the right when you ride in the street. If you have to ride on the sidewalk, you should be riding at the speed of a pedestrian. When passing, ring your bell and pass on the left! Never ever ride against traffic while riding on the road.
Laws vary between states, cities, and parks about wearing helmets. Regardless of what the law says where you’re riding, wearing a helmet is definitely the best safety tip we can give. No matter how severe or minimal the accident may be, your helmet can be the difference between a major or minor injury.
Dress for the weather! Even if it’s bright and sunny as you’re leaving for your bike ride, always check the weather for the rest of the day. You never know when that thunderstorm might hit. You don’t want to be stuck in shorts and a t-shirt if it starts raining. The weather will change what you wear and also how you ride. Find out more about riding in different climates here.
Biking is supposed to be a fun and happy hobby. You should always ride at your own pace and skill level. If you’re not confident enough with your skills while group riding, stay in the back of the group with other slower riders. Take it slow and don’t push yourself too much. Over time you will gain the confidence to ride quicker, longer, and harder.
Group riding can be a great learning experience for any new rider. You will ride with all different skill levels and gain a new appreciation for biking. When riding with a group, you should know your basic hand signals and ride in a single file or two abreast.
Night riding creates the most safety hazards. Not only should you abide by the above safety tips, but you should also make yourself extremely visible. This means wearing bright colors and the least amount of dark colors. Make sure your bike has retroreflective sheets, and if possible wear a retroreflective vest or clothing.
If you’re riding a MoGo and want even more safety tips! Visit our Safety Tips page here.
Executive Director Lisa Nuszkowski took time out of her busy schedule to have a coffee break with John Prost of Detroit’s The War Memorial. The two sat down in the MoGo warehouse to talk about how MoGo started, what is has accomplished and what the future holds. Lisa goes in-depth about how her idea for a Detroit bike share company started at Wayne State. She talks about the ups and downs on what it’s like running a non-profit organization that provides a unique way of transportation. Take some time today to listen and learn about insights of the Detroit bike share company MoGo.
