How to use a shared bicycle

Shared bicycle has become a popular transportation mode in recent years. With its convenience, efficiency and environmental protection, it has been widely favored by the public. However, some new users may feel confused about how to use shared bicycles. Don't worry, this article will give you some tips on how to use shared bicycles.

Download the App and Register

The first thing to do is download the app of the shared bicycle that you want to use. The most common bike-sharing apps are Mobike, Ofo, and Hellobike in China. After downloading the app, you need to register with your phone number or email. Some apps may also ask for your real name and ID card number. It's important to provide accurate, real information to ensure smooth use of the bike-sharing service.

Unlock and Ride the Bike

After registering, you can use the app to scan the QR code on the bicycle to unlock it. Some shared bicycles have a combination lock that can be opened with a code provided by the app. Once the bike is unlocked, adjust the seat height to your liking and check whether the tires and brakes are working properly before starting to ride. Remember to wear a helmet for safety.

Return and Lock the Bike

When you reach your destination, find a designated parking spot for shared bicycles or simply park it in a public area where it doesn't block pedestrians or vehicles. Use the app to end your ride and lock the bicycle. To end your ride, just close the lock or scan the QR code on the bike again. Make sure the bike is securely locked before you leave it.
