Less Bike Angels in NYC these Days?
In my area last summer/fall I used to see a handful of the same Bike Angels moving bikes around all day. Since the Spring I don't see them anymore. Saw one yesterday and he said he stopped since cash incentive went down. He said him and the others were doing it as a living. I also noticed that the bike movement in my area has gotten stale. I just move bikes to subsidize electric bike costs. Interested to know if the bike movement has stayed the same or gotten worse (my observation) since this award policy change? I would Lyft is losing money since they have to hire more company people to move the bikes now. Thanks!Gaffano5 days agoCasual Commenter64Views0likes3Commentschicago end of year finishes

I was in first place for bluebikes this month and expectedly earned $750 + $100 =$850.00. I spoke with the third place person who said she only made $300 and was expecting $350 for third place (AW708). Is only the top point getter for the month getting extra money? I thought it was top 3 received $100, $75, $50.SM9702 months agoCasual Commenter107Views0likes1CommentBike Angels Motivation?
I just do Bike Angels to get points to pay for expensive e-bike minutes and extend membership. I dont go to much out of my way to get points. I also work so dont have much time to devote. Seems many here might be doing this for income. Seems you need to put in the time but good workout and you are your own boss. Gig economy. Curious, what's your motivation?Gaffano3 months agoCasual Commenter120Views1like3CommentsHow are people accumulating so many points?!
Iβm just wondering how some angels are amassing soooo many points. Iβm in awe! I thought I was doing a lot when I hit 450 points last month but I see some are doing that in one day. How?!? also seems like a bike angels ride/meet up could be fun πSolvedJhill3 months agoResourceful Rider941Views1like12CommentsAm I initiated?!?!

Hi! I first learned to ride a bike in middle school, but I forgot how to.π I recently got back into biking and ran some errands while doing Angels runs (got 13 points π). These were some of my first independent road biking trips, and I had so much fun : )Solvedweeviler3 months agoCasual Commenter38Views1like2CommentsCiti Explorers

Hi everyone! My name is Omar, and I am a Senior Customer Experience Advocate here at Lyft. For those of you familiar with tech company structures, think of me as specialized Customer Support. My entire job is helping riders (you all) out when an issue is a bit more complex. This could be issues like when a bunch of stations go down all at once, a software bug affecting multiple people through really specific circumstances, and overall long, complex issues that take longer to investigate and solve. I'm here to help out Jess here in this wonderful community, so you'll be seeing me here a lot more often. Some facts about myself: I am a big animal lover and had 3 cats in the past. I am a huge gaming nerd and will play anything from FPS to strategy to mystery etc. in my free time I have been with Lyft for roughly 2 years (come this Summer) Favorite music genres are EDM, Indie, and Alternative I helped out last year in the Communities in-between my normal work duties I'm not online 24/7 on the site, so if I don't respond immediately, I am either on my day off or working magic behind the scenes to provide the best possible answer. I appreciate the honest feedback of our Bike Angels and aim to be an advocate for your voices behind the scenes. Let me know if y'all have any other questions about me, more than happy to chat.Lyft_Omar4 months agoBike Angels Team39Views5likes0CommentsThe Salem Challenge
For all the BlueBikers I wanted to share a little trip I did in October which I like to call the Salem challenge. You start at the Malden High School dock and end at Vinnin Square in Salem.
