Bicycle Solar Tour Options For those who wish to take the solar tour via bicycle, there are two options: Ride your own bike or transport your bike to the start of the tour at Creighton University, 25th & Cuming (look for the huge solar panels in the parking lot) or ride a B-cycle for free. Follow the directions to ride the B-cycles for free on October 26th: The closest kiosk is at 1819 Farnam. Visit the B-cycle web page for other locations: http://omaha.bcycle.com. For the B-cycle tour we recommend going to all the stops between Creighton and MCC. See the tour schedule above. 1. Go to any of the B-station kiosks (which are solar powered) and select "Check out bike". 2. Select "yes" on the screen that asks if you would like to purchase 24-hour access and agree to the user agreement. 3. On the next screen it will ask you if you have a promo code. Select "yes". 4. Enter 7652713 and hit "next". 5. On the next screen you will see the updated price of $0.00. 6. NOTE: While your promo code gives you free 24-hour access, you still need to swipe a credit card for both usage fees and for the bike liability. 7. Continue through the rest of the screens following the onscreen instructions. 8. Enjoy your ride! This coupon is good for unlimited passes, so be sure to bring a friend.
