MoGo, Any Thoughts on its use?

That Freep quote pretty much mangles how the system actually works [[their writers often seem to get confused over such details). A pass actually buys you an unlimited number of 30 minute rides during the period covered by the pass.

If you're taking a longer ride, the system is designed to act like a relay system. So you turn in your bike at a rack before your 30 minutes are up and pick up another bike for another 30 minutes. In part, this is supposed to help to avoid empty racks and, as much as possible, distribute the bikes more evenly and not have all them bunch up in a few spots [[they will be redistributed by trucks after hours too). The $4 or $2 charges only kick in if you keep an individual bike for over 30 mins., and cover an additional 30 min. period.

THANK YOU for that clarification. That makes so much more sense.

I use the Zagster bike rentals. I work for a company that pays for Zagster, so I get to ride the bikes as much and as long as I want to, for free.

Every day at lunch [[weather permitting) I've been going on 10 mile bike rides along the river and Dequindre cut. It's been an awesome perk.

The link to the MoGo website posted by Lowell above explains the system much more clearly.
