Carmel’s Bike Share program shuttered in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the nation, but since reopening a year later, it’s continued to expand.
The program, which has a fleet of bicycles available to rent at stations across the city, has grown from 22 bikes at two stations in 2015 to more than 50 bikes at seven stations. All the bikes were recently replaced with new ones.
The City of Carmel spends $90,000 each year to fund the program. Bikes can be rented through the Movatic app on a smartphone. Cost is $1.50 per half hour with a cap of $24 for up to a 24-hour period. Monthly and annual accounts are also available.
Bike Share locations are:
- Central Park on the Monon Greenway
- Carmel City Hall, One Civic Square (southwest corner of parking lot)
- Carter Green and Monon Greenway (east of 3 Carter Green)
- City Center Drive and Range Line Road (southwest corner)
- Midtown Plaza, 365 Monon Boulevard (just north of Elm Street)
- Main Street and the Monon Greenway (In front of Bazbeaux Pizza)
- 37 East Main Street (in font of Visit Hamilton County offices)
