A red light flashing indicates that the return of your last use was not registered and that the bicycle was wrongly anchored. Therefore, for the system you still have a bicycle in use and you´re not allowed to have a second one. Upon return of a bicycle always make sure that it is properly anchored to the lock of the cyclostation. If the anchorage port presents a problem, try in another one. If the problem persists please contact us at the Call Center +52(222) 242.24.42 or WhatsApp +521(22) 27.10.77.71 or at Facebook: UrbanBici_Mx Twitter @UrbanBici e Instagram: UrbanBici, so that we can help to reestablish the service.


Service Use


If you want to leave a bicycle and the cyclostation is full, you can access the Web, find the "Map" and look for the closest cyclostation with available anchoring ports or contact us to the Call Center +52(222) 242.24.42 or WhatsApp +521(22) 27.10.77.71 or at Facebook: UrbanBici, Twitter: @UrbanBici e Instagram: UrbanBici and our staff will indicate you the nearby stations with available ports. In addition, you will get 10 extra minutes with no charge to reach the nearest cyclostation.

It is possible that at certain times in certain areas, you will not find available bicycles. Please report an empty station at the Call Center +52(222) 242.24.42 or WhatsApp +521(22) 27.10.77.71 or through Social Networks at Facebook: UrbanBici, Twitter: @UrbanBici e Instagram: UrbanBici

You can ride it for a maximum period of 45 minutes per trip. Trips are allowed from 6 in the morning until 12 at night. After 45 minutes of any given trip in case you do not return the bicycle to a cyclostation, you will be charged $ 45.00 pesos for every extra 45 minutes that you get to spend. We have a suggestion if you need rides that take longer than the 45 minute period: Before the expiration of the first period, return the bicycle to any anchor port available on any cyclostation, and then remove it again for another 45 minutes.

The annual membership is automatically renewed if the registered payment method allows the charge of the amount due for renewal. Non-renewable memberships, as the name implies, are not automatically renewed. if you wish to continue with the service, you must go to the UrbanBici offices or communicate your wish through any media to make the corresponding charge and reactivate the Token. In case the renewal is not successful, you have 7 days after the membership expiration date to get to the Customer Service Center.
