Bike Share
Learn about Bend’s Bike Share Program—Powered by Veo.
Bend offers a great way to get around town: shared e-bikes from Veo. This permanent bike share program is the result of the City’s ongoing efforts to make transportation more affordable, accessible, and climate-friendly.
Why Veo?
Veo is a nationally recognized shared mobility company selected by the City of Bend to launch and operate the program. Their fleet of 300 modern e-bikes will be available across the city—just unlock one via the Veo app and ride. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or exploring Bend car-free, Veo offers a convenient and fun option for getting around.
This follows a successful pilot run with Bird (2022–2024), and builds on valuable lessons learned, especially around responsible bike parking and safe riding practices.
A Ride Toward a Greener Bend
The City’s vision for the permanent program is rooted in reducing traffic congestion, lowering emissions, and improving transportation equity. E-bikes help minimize single-occupancy vehicle use and offer a low-cost way to travel—while supporting Bend’s climate goals.
