Bike & Go

[Brandane]

You've to find someone with a key first!
And with the limited movement available, I can say they're heavy(I'll take the scale the next time), often have flats, which you'd be required to repair first and the gears are crunchy

Assuming you eventually manage to find someone to hire the bike from; do you need to find someone to RETURN the key to at the end of the hire period too? Presumably if you can't find anyone then your hire continues until you DO find someone. Maybe they aren't so daft after all.

There's a seperate lock that runs through all ten bikes. That's the one you need someone to open for you.

It has clearly been well thought out.

Which is why I never renewed after the first year.

When you getting your card then?

In Rochdale the bikes appear to have just got up & gone. They only have three remaining, from the ten they started with.

Great idea, horrible execution, which I think is a shame because there's real potential there which hasn't been properly realised.

If they(Northern Rail) could be bothered trying to run it, it might actually get going.
As it is, they don't seem to want to do anything. Despite it being a partner company that's behind it.
