What do you all think of this company’s idea? You can lease a bike from them, to get started riding without the “big” expense of buying a bike up front.
I guess the big question is just, will this get more people riding then would otherwise happen? If so, seems OK, but generally, I’m resistant to this idea that literally everything needs to be done via subscriptions.
Is this available in your area and if so, is it working well or no?
Bikes actually require a level of care though? If you just leave them outside they are going to start rusting etc.
Going to have to be expensive to cover that and theft
For sure. On the lease-a-bike site, they say they want to work with brick and mortar bike shops who already do repairs. I take it then they factor that into the lease for the consumer (us). The web site is still generally really light on facts though, so hard to be sure, without signing up.
