Cyclists joining this year’s Dubai Ride can look forward to complimentary bike rentals, thanks to a new partnership between Careem and Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
Through the Careem app, participants can claim a free single-trip pass by entering the promo code DR25 and collect a bike from either of Careem Bike’s two pop-up stations — at Entrance A (Museum of the Future, Trade Centre Street) and Entrance E (Lower FCS, Financial Centre Street) — or from any of the 200+ Careem Bike stations across the city.
The bikes will be available on a first-come, first-served basis between 3am and 8am, with all extra-time fees waived for rides exceeding 45 minutes during that window.
Hussain Al Banna, CEO of the Traffic and Roads Agency at RTA, said the initiative aligns with the authority’s broader vision for sustainable urban transport. “Dubai Ride is a cornerstone of the Dubai Fitness Challenge and part of RTA’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Dubai’s position as a bicycle-friendly city,” he said. “Our partnership with Careem Bike enables more members of the community to adopt active and sustainable mobility, in line with RTA’s priorities of safety, sustainability, and customer happiness.”
Careem’s Chief Business Officer, Bassel Al Nahlaoui, added that the collaboration supports community participation. “We’re proud to partner with the RTA for the fourth year to make Dubai Ride more accessible to everyone in the city,” he said. “By offering free Careem Bikes, we’re helping more people take part in this great community event and encouraging cycling as a healthy and sustainable way to move around Dubai.”
To redeem the offer, users must download the latest Careem app, tap Bike, select Single Trip Pass, and apply the promo code DR25 between 3am and 8am on November 2, 2025. Participants should bring their own helmets and register on the Dubai Ride website.
Dubai Ride routes will open at 6:15am and conclude at 8am, with several Careem Bike stations conveniently located near event entrances.
