   2. Press the 'Unlock' button.
   3. Click on the station you're currently at, and select the dock number of the bike you wish to check out.

   5. Once you've completed the purchase the bike will unlock automatically. 
   6. The dock holding the bike will beep until the bike is removed. Listen for 3 beeps.

   1. Press the 'Unlock' button.
   2. Click on the station you're currently at, and select the dock number of the bike you wish to check out.

   Need to stop between stations? Every Red Bike includes a cable lock to keep the bike safe while you run into a store or shop.

4. Return your bike to any station.

   1. Return your bike to any station by rolling it into an available dock.
   2. Wait for three rapid blinks of the green light and three quick beeps. That’s your signal that the bike has been securely returned.
