How to Start Your Trip

To rent a bicycle, you will need either a credit card or an IC card. Go to a docomo kiosk next to a bicycle dock station and purchase a 1 day pass. If you purchase a pass using your IC card, you begin your trip by tapping your card on the back of the bicycle. The bike will unlock and you can begin your journey. If your purchase your pass using a credit card, the kiosk will give you an activation pin. Enter this pin using the number pad on the rear wheel of the bike to begin your trip.

To end your trip, find a dock location with an empty spot for your bicycle. Put your bicycle in the empty spot and use your thumb to lock the rear wheel. The screen on the back of the bicycle will show “Locking” and you press the “Enter” button to end your trip.
