The Unique Gift Idea for Anyone on Your List
Finding the perfect gift, especially one that’s meaningful, practical, and fun, doesn’t have to be impossible this year.
If you’re searching for a unique gift idea that nearly everyone on your list would love, a local bike share membership may be exactly what you’re looking for.
What makes gifting an experience great? When it fits into people’s lives in unexpected ways.
A PikeRide membership does just that, for a wide range of interests and lifestyles.
Gifting an ebike membership provides an exciting and efficient way to get around, explore, and make memories throughout the year. Plus, it supports our mission to ensure everyone has affordable transportation.
PikeRide is a local nonprofit electric bike share serving Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. Riders simply unlock an ebike with their phone and pedal to their favorite local business, attraction, or joyride in minutes.
For those who live in downtown Colorado Springs, Old Colorado City, or Manitou Springs, or for friends and family visiting, a PikeRide membership is a thoughtful gift that unlocks exploration through the most fun way to get around.
Riders get an hour and a half of ride time each day, and each minute over is just 25 cents if they choose to ride for longer.

“We love showing friends around downtown and the west side on PikeRide. We will check out multiple bikes and go shop, eat and play, showing them our favorite places and the ways we get around town by bike. Many people go on to check out bikes on their own or buy e-bikes later. It is one of our favorite fair weather pastimes.”
