Pick-up points at ICE stations
Since spring 2008, mobility with Call a Bike has been available in many other
cities.
The idea behind this system is that many of the trips that people make inside a
city begin at the railway station and, if you have an appointment somewhere in
the city centre for instance, end there again. The railway station is therefore
the starting and finishing point of your journey by bike.
Please note that the bicycle has to be returned to the Call a Bike pick-up
point where you hired it.
There are Call a Bike pick-up points at the following stations
How can you use a CallBike?
All you have to do:
Simply register on the Internet at www.callabike.de or call our service hotline at 07000 5225522*, speak to one of our friendly call agents and give them your particulars. You will immediately receive your customer number. Once you have registered, we debit EUR 5 from your credit card or bank account. That sum will be deducted in full from your next Call a Bike invoice.
You can set off as soon as you have registered.
After that initial registration, you only have to give us a quick call whenever you wish to use a bike and you can set off immediately. Right round the clock. Simply call the telephone number in the red box on the cover of the CallBike lock to receive the opening code. Key in that number on the input display underneath the cover to release the lock and you can then remove the bolt.
Call a Bike guarantees unbeatable cycling fun: we use only top-quality, attractively designed, high-tech bikes. Smooth running gears and tough construction ensure that comfort does not fall by the wayside when you opt for this innovative mobility product.

Couple enjoying CallBikes |
If you wish to park your CallBike for a while and continue your journey later, all you have to do is close the lock and press the button. The opening code you were given remains valid.
Simply lock the CallBike to a traffic sign or cycle stand at the next major crossroads. After you have closed the lock and pressed the button, the display will show the words “Return bike” (Yes/No). Press “Yes” and you will receive a receipt code. To complete the rental process, phone the Call a Bike centre, tell them the receipt code and the location of the returned bike. That’s all you have to do.
Return the CallBike to one of the Call a Bike pick-up points and secure it using the bolt provided there. Press the button and note the receipt code on the lock display. Call the phone number shown on the lock, key in the receipt code and the 4-digit number of the pick-up point (shown on the pillar) on your mobile phone – and that’s it.
