Dubai Ride 2025 will see thousands of cyclists take over Sheikh Zayed Road as the city prepares for its annual community ride. This year, the Roads and Transport Authority has confirmed that participants can use Careem bikes for free during the event.
About the Event
The Dubai Ride is one of the city’s largest fitness and community initiatives. It encourages residents and visitors to experience cycling through the city’s most famous routes. The event temporarily transforms key roads into cycling tracks where families, professionals, and enthusiasts ride together.
In previous editions, the event attracted participants of all ages. The focus remains on promoting active living and sustainability while showcasing Dubai’s urban landscape.
Free Bike Rentals by RTA and Careem
RTA has partnered with Careem to provide free bike rentals for all registered participants. The initiative aims to make the event more accessible for those who do not own a bicycle. Participants will receive a free one-day Careem Bike pass through a special code announced by RTA.
The offer will be valid during event hours, and bikes can be collected from Careem’s docking stations across the city. The rentals will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to Avail the Offer
To access the free Careem Bike, participants must first register for the event online. After registration, they can download the Careem app and enter the official promo code once it is shared. Users can then unlock a bike from the nearest docking station and join the designated cycling routes.
Riders are advised to bring their own helmets and arrive early to avoid long waits.
Routes and Safety Measures
The cycling routes will include Sheikh Zayed Road, Business Bay, and Downtown Dubai. Certain roads will be closed to traffic during the early morning hours. RTA has advised participants to check official timings before arriving.
Safety marshals will be present along the route to assist riders. Participants are also encouraged to stay hydrated and follow all traffic and safety rules.
Public Response and Impact
The cycling community has welcomed the partnership. Many see it as a step toward a more inclusive and eco-friendly city. Free bike access allows more residents to participate without additional cost. RTA stated that the initiative supports Dubai’s long-term mobility and sustainability goals.
Careem also highlighted that the collaboration reflects their shared commitment to active lifestyles and community well-being.
Conclusion
