World Cup party pedaling with Bike Share KC

Are you attending a World Cup match or fan event this summer? Or maybe you're just navigating a city buzzing with soccer fans. Here are some tips for riding bike share to big events:

1. Plan ahead

Decide what route you will ride ahead of time. (Google Maps isn't always up-to-date, so we suggest the Regional Trails and Bikeways map! It's available online, and you can pick up a print copy in many area bike shops or request one be mailed to you) Park your car outside the busy area, using your Bike Share KC app to choose an area with plenty of bikes available. We recommend using a credit card instead of a debit card if possible, to avoid tying up your funds.

City leaders and KC2026 organizers are releasing new information about World Cup transportation almost daily, and we're doing our best to keep up. Click here to read what we know right now about World Cup-specific routes and parking.

2. Park and lock up

Use the Bike Share KC app to find an official parking hub, or for a $2 fee, lock up at a publicly-available bike rack, street sign, or other fixed object. Do not lock the bike to a bus stop or street car stop, tree, handrail, or private property, and make sure you aren't blocking a sidewalk, stairway, or doorway.

3. Don't panic

Cell phone service may be spotty with so many people in one place. During especially busy times, you may need to wait for crowds to disperse before you can unlock a bike.

Seriously. Don't panic.
