Bici Bike Share Zagster Program

Signed up for BICI at the Earth Day celebration on Civic Plaza, despite having 5 bikes back at home (4 bikes at home plus the one I was riding, actually). $25 for annual membership seemed too good to be true, plus I loved the idea of having Bike Share here in the Duke City. It turns out that I actually use it quite a bit. Since I live Downtown, I walk a lot. Several times I've been out walking, and to save time, I've grabbed a bike to speed up my journey. Sometimes we even purposefully leave our bikes at home and get a BICI. The bikes are very comfortable, the seats fully adjustable, the basket is handy for carrying things, and the step through frame makes it easy to mount since you don't have to throw your leg over the seat. You can use either the APP if you have a smartphone, or text (smart or non-smartphone). Both are easy after you've done it once. Customer service is helpful too. This is a great amenity for ABQ! Give it a try!

Nice service for ABQBikes are well maintained, although not the coolest looking (prob to avoid theft).Prices are cheap, worth it for tooling around, but if you want performance bikes, go somewhere else

Took my first official bici ride today! I joined the program by signing up online through Zagster and paid the $25 fee for an annual membership. I downloaded the Zagster app and as I was walking downtown this afternoon, I passed one of the stations and decided to give it a go!I boarded at the PNM station, but check the app for all the different options. They're throughout downtown Albuquerque and extend to the BioPark (Old Town) and to the National Hispanic Cultural Center.For the first year if the program (so through May 2016) they're doing "first 90 minutes free". So as long as you've paid your membership fee, any rides under 1.5 hours will be totally free. Pretty sweet! They also offer monthly ($15) and 1 day ($3) memberships. Check their website for the updated rates for longer rentals.The bikes themselves are cruisers and pretty cushy. They each have 8 gears, a wide seat, a basket, and a bell. So you won't be doing the Tour de France on these babies, but they'll get you around town with ease.The "check out" process is a little complicated, but after doing it once, I get it. You have to access the app and type in the bike number, which then allows you to start a ride and use a code to unlock the bike lock key. Throw the lock in your basket and away you go!During the online signup, I'm pretty you sign a waiver that basically removes Zagster from liability if you get hurt on the bike. So wear your helmet and bike defensively folks! Awesome program. I'm so glad we have a bike share in Albuquerque!

The Zagster website seems to be dead so I can't register today 09/10/2015. I also have a Windows phone so there is no app for me.
