Free this Friday? Let’s ride. Grab a friend and hop on a Ford GoBike for a commute or to take in the gorgeous fall weather because 24-hour bike passes are free for one day only, thanks to Clover.

Where are the Bike Stations? View a Map
- San Francisco – 115+ bike stations mostly around SoMa, Caltrain, Mission, Castro, Financial District, Market Street, Hayes Valley, Embarcadero and North Beach

Why 30 minutes? Because it’s Bike Share! The 24-hour pass allows you to zip from A to B, checking out a bike from any station for up to 30 minutes, and returning it to another once you’ve reached your destination, so that someone else can use the bike while you’re having lunch, visiting a museum or hanging out with friends.
And then when you’re ready, grab another bike and head out to your next destination.
