Well, hopefully folks will use them here in the COA. I can see how they would come in handy for tourists.

I already saw people out riding them and you can track them as well using the map Find a Bike – Relay Bike Share
This program, as it expands, will become a great first/last mile connection for transit users.

I live near 2 of the stations and usually a couple of the bikes are always gone. Seems that it's doing pretty decent to me.

Good to hear. If we could just get some better danged connectivity, they'd all make nice last-mile modes.

No, People can lock them up other places than a station ($2 extra). You can rent those too ($1 credit if you return them to a station).

Its good if you have more than one place to go but at $8 plus $2 if you leave it anywhere,I can get an Uber for far less. I think they should lower the price to maybe $5 but maybe Im wrong.

Not to mention a ZipCar is less than $10 for an hour.

As the system expands, to a proposed 500 bikes and nearly 50 stations, it will become a great way to quickly get around without car.
