The authorities on Friday announced that the residents and visitors who wish to participate in the Dubai Ride but do not possess bicycles, can rent bikes for free.
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) teamed up with Careem Bike for the initiative. Participants can borrow the bikes from Entrance A - MOTF - Trade Centre St, and the Entrance E - Lower FCS - Financial Centre Rd Next to Roda Al Murooj Building A — on a first-come, first-serve basis, on the day of the event (November 6). They can also subscribe and rent a Careem Bike from any of its 175 stations in Dubai.
Here's how to avail of the offer:
• Participants will receive a special code at the above-mentioned stations.
• They will also be required to enter their card details as a security measure, but will not be charged for borrowing the bikes.
• All participants are required to bring their own helmets to use the bikes.
• Overtime fees will be waived for the duration of the event.
The Dubai Ride routes open at 5am, with all cyclists starting their journey at 6.30am and finishing at 7.30am.
