Since it's bike 'sharing,' you do not keep the bike in your possession for the whole day.

When docked, the bike is then available for the next person to use. The 30 minute trip clock resets each time you arrive at a station/destination, so you get UNLIMITED 30 minute rides at no extra charge. The first 30 minutes of every ride are included for free, so it gets you from station to station where you dock/park the bike, then just grab another one when you are ready to ride again (like a taxi, but a lot more fun!). A membership allows a rider to check out and return ANY available bike from ANY station, all day long. Memberships: Bike Sharing Membership is a concept that has been used very successfully in a variety of European cities, such as Paris and Barcelona. The rental period starts at the time of your original transaction. As a perk, you can also dock/park your bike at any station and check another during your rental period. Hourly Rentals: An hourly rental allows a rider to keep the bike for the entire duration of the rental period.
