By the way. For $88 a year you get unlimited 30 minute rides. 30-60 minutes costs $4. After that it’s $7 for each 30 minutes. But these are big, heavy, 7-speed cruisers with soft butt-loving seats. They’re not meant for long rides. But for cruising about the flats in downtown, or even making a run to the store, they’re great. Especially if there’s a rack of them near your start and end points, because you can re-rack them and not get charged for the time in between. You simply generate a new code at the kiosk and unlock the same or a different bike.

We have a service like that in Nashville, B-cycle, they are in a number of cities in fact. 5 bucks for 24 hours, First hour included, 1.50 per 30 minutes after that. 7 day membership is 10 bucks, 30 day is 15, and year is 50. I generally ride the express bus to and from Clarksville, but then jump the local to the office. They don’t have any stands up in my part of the city, hopefully they will at some point. That would give me an extra option for the last 3 mile stretch.
