About Bike Share
 
 WHAT'S A BIKE SHARE PROGRAM?
A Bike Share program is a network of many Bike Share stations, where members can take ANY bike, from ANY station, as many times as they like for a small membership fee. A 24-hour Access Pass, 7-day or Annual Membership lets you take UNLIMITED 30min trips at no extra charge!
Every time you dock a bike, you get a fresh 30min. If you keep one bike out longer than 30min you get charged a usage fee. AND WE DON'T WANT THAT :(
Instead of renting one specific bike (bike rental), your GREENbike Membership gives you access to ALL THE BIKES at every downtown Bike Share station.
If you're not riding your GREENbike, don't chain it up somewhere or keep it in your office. Return your GREENbike to ANY Bike Share station so someone else can take a ride.
 
 
BIKE SHARE IS NOT BIKE RENTAL
Bike Rental is paying for a specific bike (road, mountain, etc), for a specific person (guy/girl, big/small), for a specific amount of time (usually 24hours or more). You are responsible for that bike. You need a lock. You load it in your car. You take it in your hotel room. 
GREENbikes are designed for one purpose, short trips in the city by people wearing regular clothes and carrying ordinary stuff. They don't take you up the canyon and they don't take you down the mountain. The bikes are one sizes fits all (4' 6" to 6' 4") and the only thing you might have to adjust is the seat.
