Fun to ride but pay as you go is far too expensive and subscription option is pricey too, particularly if only in town a couple of days a week and it only gives you first 10 mins per ride included in subscription, you have to pay for extra minutes. Since parking areas have been reduced it's harder to find a bike anywhere on my way home south out of Bristol, making subscription plan even harder to get any value from. App often takes a minute to let you stop ride, which then costs more.

DO NOT USE! If you top up £5, they take out £50!!! Only wanted one journey and been ripped a new one. They don't answer customer support. My bank has even advised to dispute it and they taking over after seeing dodgy faults on app, as don't like to see their customers ripped off. Refusing to credit back! Rip off, catch the bus

Bikes are expensive to hire. £3.80 just for a couple of minutes then £0.20 a minute to a maximum of £12 a day. But there's a monthly subscription... That removes the deposit and brings the charge down to £0.12 a minute. Subscriptions shouldn't come with additional charges. Imagine if Netflix or Disney+ charged you per episode or per movie on top of your subscription and you have the cheek to charge up to £12 a day on top of a £20 a month subscription
