Those are bikes from a bike-share system called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bikeitau.com.br\/\">Bike Rio<\/a> (or Bike Ita\u00fa, as Ita\u00fa bank sponsors this program). Bike Rio is a very easy and cheap way to rent a bike in Rio de Janeiro. Especially with the chaotic traffic jam in Rio, cycling to places seems a great alternative. And if you agree Rio is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, cycling around the city is also great for the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#About_the_bike-share_system\" >About the bike-share system<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#How_does_Bike_Rio_work\" >How does Bike Rio work?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#There_are_five_plans_you_can_choose_from\" >There are five plans you can choose from:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#How_to_pay_and_how_to_release_the_bike_from_the_station\" >How to pay and how to release the bike from the station?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#Bike_Itau_App\" >Bike Ita\u00fa App<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#Returning_the_bike\" >Returning the bike<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#What_if_you_use_the_bike_for_longer\" >What if you use the bike for longer?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#Tips\" >Tips<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rent-bike-rio-de-janeiro\/#Bike_Rio_near_Caminhos_Language_Centre\" >Bike Rio near Caminhos Language Centre<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_the_bike-share_system\"><\/span>About the bike-share system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most big cities in the world are using the bike-share system nowadays. And they all work in a very similar way. A big company usually sponsors this kind of service and adds many bicycle stations around the city. Anyone can use their phone to rent a bike and use it during a certain time frame. You may also return it to any other station. Shanghai, London, New York City, Barcelona, and hundreds of other big cities have been using this system for years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/brazil.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/brazil.jpg\" alt=\"alquilar bicicleta rio de janeiro\" class=\"wp-image-76069\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Bike_Rio_work\"><\/span>How does Bike Rio work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, the system works like this: you can take a bike to one station, use it for a certain period, and return it to a different station. Then, you must wait at least 15 minutes until you take another bike without any additional charges. These are the basic conditions that apply to every plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are in Rio de Janeiro and plan to rent a bike to explore the city, this is a good option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_are_five_plans_you_can_choose_from\"><\/span>There are five plans you can choose from:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Single trip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monthly plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anual plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_pay_and_how_to_release_the_bike_from_the_station\"><\/span>How to pay and how to release the bike from the station?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bike_Itau_App\"><\/span>Bike Ita\u00fa App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the Bike Ita\u00fa app and register your credit card. Then, choose the plan that better suits you. When you are ready to rent a bike, choose one of the stations nearby, check the app to see if there are any bikes available at that station, and click &#8220;unlock.&#8221; The app will provide you with a 5-digit code valid for 5 minutes. Go to the station, choose a bike (make sure to check the bike before releasing it from the station \u2013 check flat tires, broken breaks, etc), and enter the password on the panel you will find at the station. The bike will be unlocked and you can now use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When registering into the Bike Ita\u00fa app or website, you can also ask for a user card to be delivered to you. That way, you do not need to use your phone when renting the bike. Just insert your user card into the self-service station and choose a bike. You can have the user card to be sent to your homestay, apartment, or even to Caminhos Language Centre if you are a student here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bike Ita\u00fa is also offering electric bikes now for the same price as regular ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update: As of December 2023, you can use your passport to register to the Bike Ita\u00fa App and also use the Uber app to unlock bikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use a self-service station, <a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BIKE-RIO-SELFSERVICE-STATIONS.pdf\">check the list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Returning_the_bike\"><\/span>Returning the bike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As easy as it sounds, just find another Bike Rio station wherever you are, check if there are any available docks on it, and return the bike. There\u2019s no need to use the app for returning the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_you_use_the_bike_for_longer\"><\/span>What if you use the bike for longer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An additional charge of R$2.00 per 15 minutes will be charged to your credit card. If the bike you had used was an electric one, the additional charge costs R$4.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips\"><\/span>Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to use your strength to return the bike to the station, as it needs to properly lock itself into the machine. Just pull the bike up and forward and it should work. Do not be afraid to use a bit of force when doing it. If you cannot get it done, just ask if any local can help you. You can say: \u201cVoc\u00ea pode me ajudar com a bicicleta?\u201d (Can you help me with the bike?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you are using the bike and need to go somewhere, make sure you keep it in a safe place, as they do not offer any locks for you to secure it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bike_Rio_near_Caminhos_Language_Centre\"><\/span>Bike Rio near Caminhos Language Centre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a Bike Rio station really close to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/\">Caminhos<\/a>, just around the corner of Farme de Amoedo Street and Nascimento Silva Street. You can use it to go home after class, go shopping, go to the beach, and do other things. Make sure to take advantage of that and move easily around the city!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/9f3d2988-119e-472c-afe3-80c6461978dc.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/9f3d2988-119e-472c-afe3-80c6461978dc.jpg\" alt=\"aluguel bicicleta rio de janeiro\" class=\"wp-image-76068\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/\">Learn Portuguese in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<\/a>&nbsp;with the best&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/about-caminhos\/teachers-staff\/\">native teachers<\/a>&nbsp;in town.
