Port Bikeshare

Port Bikeshare runs with no City funding and depends on volunteers for smooth operations. One important way that volunteers help is by "rebalancing" – moving bikes between stations so that they're available when needed. The biggest need is replacing bikes at the Parker Street / MBTA station so that they're available for visitors to Newburyport.

Over the past three months our group of 8 volunteers has moved 105 bikes on 38 days. As we expand with four new stations this summer we expect that the need for rebalancing will grow. Bikes can be moved individually by pedaling or in groups by car with an appropriate bike rack. If you're interested in joining our team, email us at [email protected].

Port Bikeshare is excited that we will be adding 20 bikes and 4 stations to the system thanks to a $15,000 Flagship Grant from AARP Livable Communities to the City of Newburyport! Look for information about our new stations coming soon.

It’s a beautiful morning for a bike ride on the Clipper City Rail Trail, and there are plenty of Port Bikeshare bikes (and recumbent trikes) available at Market Landing Park!

The relaunch celebration for Port Bikeshare's 2026 season is tomorrow, Tuesday 4/14. Come to the Market Landing Park East station at 4:00pm to hear about Newburyport's bikeshare program and try out the bikes. Volunteers will be there to help new users get started.

This week you can ride a bikeshare bike free for up to 30 minutes! Just enter the code "ride30" when you rent the bike/ This coupon code is good for one ride through Sunday 4/19, so you can use it even if you can't make Tuesday's kickoff event.

We’re back for the 2026 season! Join us on the 14th, and learn about the system at https://bit.ly/portbikeshare.

Although more snow is on the way tonight, the bikes will be back in a couple of months!
