Tandem Mobility offically launched their Blue Bikes presented by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Alabama here in Decatur!

Have you been enjoying the beautiful spring weather in Decatur? Now you can take full advantage of it while riding a new blue bike through Downtown Decatur! Decatur has partnered with Tandem Mobility and Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of Alabama to provide three Blue bike stations around the city. The Decatur Blue Bikes have two hand brakes, changeable gears, and adjustable seats so that everyone is able to have a comfortable ride. There’s a basket on the front of the bike where there is enough room for you carry your bags and supplies, or even pack a picnic to enjoy later. For users' safety, there is a light on the front and a reflector on the back of the bike. Please be cautious while using the blue bikes. Helmets are not required for people over 16, so they are not included with the Decatur Blue Bikes but they are encouraged for extra protection. One of the coolest things about these bikes is the fact that you have flexibility in where you lock it up! You can obtain and return your blue bike to any of the bike stations in Decatur. These locations are the perfect spot to hop on the Dr. Bill Sims Bike trail and explore. You can find these bike stations at Rhodes Ferry Park by the gazebo, Point Mallard Park, and in Downtown Decatur by Tess' Place!

How it works?

Renting a Blue Bike is simple! All you have to do is download the free Movatic app for iPhone or Android and create an account. Riders will pay $2 per 60 minutes of riding. Once you have the app, find the bike’s QR code clearly marked on the bike and scan it. Once you enter that into your app, you’ll be sent an unlock code. Type it in, and you’re all set. You can then enjoy your ride around the beautiful city of Decatur! Please remember to follow the rules of the road while using the Blue Bikes.



Happy riding!
