I'm out.

E-bike costs are already insanely priced, and the regular bikes are often janky and fucked up.

Me too. Plus you can never find a bike (or an open dock) when/where you actually need them. Maybe they could justify this cost if they actually maintained the bikes, but they are always trash.

Don't kid yourself. If you've been using the service consistently, you're not going back.

I don't use it consistently because it's too expensive. It's not a viable commute option, so it's for 3 summer rides.

The cost increase is about a couple of bike rides, it's still very much worth it if you are a frequent user

Is it better than just buying our own bike ?

Depends if you ride frequently and have a safe place to store a bike then buying your own bike makes sense. If you don’t want that hassle of taking care of a bike and like the e-bike option then it’s worth it.

The main appeal of these bikes for me is being able to dock it and forget about.

Yeah , although I’ve seen some idiots riding the subway with the citi bike. Like dude , the whole purpose of citi bike is docking the bike wherever you want so you can avoid these inconveniences

The people you see doing that most likely haven’t acquired their citibikes legally.

Cheaper to take the bike on the train and then ride to your final destination to dock it, than pay for one bike ride on one end and a second bike ride on the other end
