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?
Picked up a used, steel vintage MTB for $150 Canadian late last year. Already put over 2400km on it through the winter. It’s also taken me on a 180km+ adventure ride, so it does a good job for less than the cost of two tanks of gas.
Bikes don’t have to be expensive or a hassle.
I can see a leasing service being useful to some, but it really depends on how the lease is structured (cost) and what kind of bike/service/guarantee you get with it.
