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

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.

2. Park and lock up

Use the Bike Share KC app to find a parking hub, or for a $2 fee, lock up at a street sign or other fixed object. Do not lock the bike to a bus stop or street car stop, 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.

If you are unable to end your trip and upload a photo, tap the ? button in the app to contact our real, human customer support staff. We will be in touch within 24 hours.

New Bike Share Hubs Coming to Kansas City Neighborhoods

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kansas City, MO (November 18, 2025) – Bike Share KC is expanding access to sustainable transportation with the opening of new bike share hubs in two Kansas City neighborhoods: Ivanhoe and Pendleton Heights.

Both hubs will open to the public on November 19, featuring brand-new electric bikes available for residents and visitors. The new stations will increase transportation and recreation options while strengthening connectivity for Kansas City’s east side neighborhoods.

The Ivanhoe hub will be located at 3644 Woodland Ave, directly across the street from the Nutter Ivanhoe Neighborhood Center. The Pendleton Heights hub will be located at the entrance to Maple Park, adjacent to the soccer fields.

Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council’s Executive Director Alana Henry explains the impact of a new bike hub in Ivanhoe, stating,

“In the community I serve, accessible and affordable transportation options can be a challenge for many individuals and their families. We are ecstatic to offer an additional resource onsite at our campus that addresses a key need for our community members. Partnership with BikeWalkKC on this important initiative to increase mobility and bike access will undoubtedly have a significant positive impact on the more than 6000 households in Ivanhoe.”

Jonathan Cokely, President of the Pendleton Heights Neighborhood Association also shared his enthusiasm for the bike hub installation.

“Pendleton Heights is really excited to welcome the new Maple Park Bike Share Hub. This project will provide additional mobility access to our neighbors, encourage residents to enjoy the urban oasis of Cliff Drive, allow for joyful rides to KC Current matches, and bring positive programming to our parks. Thank you to our partners Bike Share KC, Community Capital Fund, and the residents of Pendleton Heights who worked so diligently to get the bikes here.”

Bike Share KC offers a convenient, affordable way to get around the city. Simply check out bikes from any hub using the Bike Share KC app, ride to their destination, and return the bike for the next rider.

Need a low-cost option for using bike share? The Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council can now offer subsidized bike share memberships for the community, joining six other service organizations that help distribute Bike Share for All memberships throughout the Greater Kansas City region.

Free parking tips for bike share riders

Leave the meter running

Just popping out for an errand? Locking your bike without ending your trip might help you avoid the convenience fee!

If you are a 30-day, 90-day, or annual member, you get 80 minutes of free ride time per day. That could be 80 minutes of riding around town, or it could be 20 minutes of riding to the grocery store, 40 leaving the meter running while you shop, and another 20 minutes of riding back to your original hub.
If you purchase an Explorer Pass, you get unlimited trips of up to 4 hours at a time. So if you bike 15 minutes to meet a friend for lunch, you can spend more than 3 hours gossiping over your burnt ends sandwich before pedaling to the next hub to end your trip.

Even walk-up riders can game the system! Walk-up rides cost 25 cents/minute, so you can lock up your bike and leave the meter running for up to 7 minutes for less than the cost of an out-of-hub convenience fee. That’s plenty of time to pick up your to-go order.

Note: Even members and Explorer Pass riders will be charged 25 cents per minute if they ride longer than 80 minutes a day (or 4 hours at a time for Explorer Pass). Double-check your math and keep an eye on your watch when you leave the meter running! Click here to learn more about memberships and passes.

More about bike share parking

These tips for out-of-hub parking are specifically for riders in KCMO, North Kansas City, and KCK. Riders in Lenexa may only end trips at designated bike share hubs, and riders on the Aspiria Campus may only end trips on the Aspiria Campus.

Wherever you end your bike share trip, use the cable and wheel lock to secure the bike, then follow instructions on the app to end your trip. Proper parking and locking helps prevent theft and vandalism of bikes and ensures that more bikes are available when you are ready to ride. If you leave a bike unlocked or parked improperly, you may incur additional charges. Click here to read our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about fees and fines.

New parking-only hubs offer more spots to lock up your bike

Need a place to park your share bike? Now you have more options! In addition to the existing hubs our riders are already using, you can now end your bike share trip at new "parking-only hubs." With guidance from user data and our municipal partners, we activated existing bike racks as parking-only hubs for your convenience. These bike racks won't be stocked with bikes like our regular hubs, but you can lock up your bike and end your trip without incurring an out-of-hub fee.

Here’s a list of the new parking-only hubs (you can also find them on the app):

Kansas City, Missouri

18th and Prospect - silver rack at the northbound Prospect MAX stop (please do not lock up to bus stop signs, hand railings, or anything except the bike rack)
19th and Baltimore - green "U" racks on the street
36th and Broadway - blue bike racks in front of the yoga studio
Central Library - racks near the accessible entrance just east of the main library doors
Gregg/Klice Community Center - racks near the building entrance
Linwood YMCA - racks near the building entrance
Mary Williams-Neal Community Center - racks near the building entrance
Tony Aguirre Community Center - black bike racks to the right of the building entrance
Westport Sunfresh - green "U" racks between Sunfresh and Sherwin Williams

North Kansas City, Missouri

Big Rip Brewing - racks in the parking lot near the patio door
31st and Howell - racks at the northwest end of Macken Park

Kansas City, Kansas

The Merc - racks near the front door on Minnesota Ave.
Neighborhood Resource Center - black pipe bike rack at the entrance of the parking lot
Holy Family Park - racks at the corner of Ohio Ave. and Orchard St.

Using the app to find parking hubs

You can use the app to find free bike share parking, even if there are currently no bikes in the hub. Here's what the map symbols mean:

Orange with a bike and dots - There is one bike at this location, and the number of dots indicates the battery level.

Orange with a number - There are multiple bikes at this hub, and if you tap the number, you can see the battery levels for each bike.

Grey with a P - There are currently no bikes at this hub, but if you're out riding, you can park here for FREE!

Riders in Kansas City, MO, North Kansas City, MO, and Kansas City, KS may park and end their trips for FREE at any designated bike share hub or any parking-only hub. For a $2 fee, you may also park at any public bike rack, or even to a street sign, as long as you're not blocking sidewalks, stairs, handrails, or transit stops. This parking policy helps prevent theft and vandalism of bikes and ensures that more bikes are available when you are ready to ride.

Note: Riders in Lenexa may only end their trips at designated bike share hubs, and riders on the Aspiria Campus may only end trips on the Aspiria Campus.
