Free Bluebikes Day Passes Every Monday In August

SALEM, MA — Residents of Bluebikes communities can ride for free on Mondays throughout August as part of the "Mindful Mondays" initiative.

The National Wellness Month project aims to highlight the positive impact mindfulness activities like biking can have on one's overall health.

The free day passes are accessible across Bluebikes' 13 municipalities, including Arlington, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Newton, Revere, Salem, Somerville, and Watertown.

As the title sponsor of Bluebikes, Blue Cross is dedicated to fostering community well-being and mental health. The system is municipally owned and operated under contract by Lyft.

Riders can take advantage of free Day Passes on each “Mindful Monday” by entering the applicable code on the Bluebikes App. Each code will unlock one free Day Pass, which includes unlimited complimentary two-hour pedal bike rides during a 24-hour period, and free ebike unlocks.

Riders can also upgrade to ebike rides for an additional per minute fee.

The codes for each Monday are as follows:

- August 5: BLUECROSS05

- August 12: BLUECROSS12

- August 19: BLUECROSS19

- August 26: BLUECROSS26

"This National Wellness Month, we emphasize the critical role of mental health in overall well-being," said Jeff Bellows, vice president of corporate citizenship and public affairs at Blue Cross. "For the fourth consecutive year, our 'Mindful Mondays' initiative is committed to nurturing both mental and physical health across Greater Boston.

"We encourage residents and visitors to harness the benefits of a Bluebikes ride and enhance their health by getting outdoors."
