maybe because you NEED a Credit Card

Customers can purchase 24-hour and 3-day memberships at any kiosk using a credit or debit card. One card can check out a maximum of two bicycles. A security hold of $101 will be placed on this credit or debit card, and will remain on the account for up to 5-10 days, depending upon the individual banking institution's policies.

To pay for:

an annual membership ($88) online, or a 24-hour ($9) or 3-day membership ($22)

After that you still have to pay. After the first free 30 minutes you pay $4 for 31 up to 60 minutes and $7 for each half hour after that. So a one day pass and a 2 hour ride is $9+$4+$7+$7 = $27

How this pyramid scheme works :

  1. JOIN Purchase an annual membership online or get a 24-hour or 3-day membership from any station kiosk. Annual members will receive a membership key in the mail.
  2. RIDE 24-hour and 3-day members will receive a ride code from the station kiosk. Enter this code on the keypad next to any available bike. Annual members can bypass the kiosk and insert their membership key at any available dock. Wait for the green light, and pull the bike out while lifting the seat.
  3. RETURN After your trip, return the bike to any station in your service area. Push the bike firmly into an available dock, and wait for the green light to confirm your trip has ended.
  4. REPEAT Enjoy unlimited trips up to 30 minutes each at no additional cost! Remember, trips longer than 30 minutes will incur overtime fees. 24-hour and 3-day members must request a new ride code for each trip by swiping their credit or debit card at the kiosk.
