Please add map filter option to display classic bikes only.
The Divvy map filter has options to show ebikes only, scooters only, or all bikes. There is notably no option for showing classic bikes only. That would be a useful filter, to hide all the noise from ebikes and scooters from the map. Chicago is flat, many users will only take an ebike/scooter as a last resort if there is no classic bike available, because the classic bikes are free for members. Please add a filter for classic bikes only. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JYKrjP9tjgA
Acoustic Only Map?
There is a toggle on the main map with four viewing options: Bikes and Scooters All bikes Ebikes Scooters But once a classic bike ride has begun, the map only shows stations where classic bikes can be parked. Why isn't there a toggle to only see stations where classic bikes can be parked without initiating a classic ride? Additionally, the City Explorer Map shows public racks, ebike/scooter only stations, and stations where classic bikes can be parked. The completion percentage is calculated using all types of racks and stations. I would appreciate a toggle to only show stations where classic bikes can be parked on the city explorer map, and a separate percentage calculator based on how many of these types of stations have been visited. I'm not against ebikes/scooters at all, I'm just on a personal mission to visit every classic bike station in Chicago (I heard ~200 more stations are being installed this summer, whooo!) and at 303 stations currently visited, the City Explorer map indicates 16.7% of stations visited while this map (https://data.cityofchicago.org/Transportation/Divvy-Bicycle-Stations-Map/bk89-9dk7) indicates that there are only just over 1,000 stations. Maybe one day I'll have the dough to visit every station and get a true 100%, but currently I'm trying to utilize the complimentary 45 minute rides to see as much of Chicago as I can on the cheap, so I'm trying to stick to acoustic bikes as much as possible. (This is my first post, so I apologize if the formatting is poor, and for the fact that the content is not specifically Bike Angel related)
New bike angel on the block
Je t'em everyone, As a hilly Washingtonian who loves to listen to really music and join the fun, I've been years praying for something like this and happy joy freely warmly joined in the ride here. Thank you so much for allowing me to participate and make things happen for our bikers and our beautiful world today. Truly believe this is one of the better routes we have for our bikers including other groups secular to capital Bikeshares in DC. As technology picks up the use of physical fobs fade but helmets don't. Ride safe, keep pushing those lanes with fineness otherwise enjoy the ride even though it's designed to have fun and many benefits. I've lost 9 lbs this past week because of it feel free to ask me how. So thank you those elder angels before me, because they're out there looking out for all of us. In gratitude and service, (former brother) Andrei P. (Dre)
Bike Angel Points Harder to Acquire
Anyone else notice just how difficult it’s become to get Bike Angels points? Seems there are lots of points to be had in certain areas of the city, but they’re almost always exclusively drop off points and not for angels to take out! Really getting sick of this. Not sure it’s even worth it anymore to participate. What incentives are there at this point? Things have taken a decisive turn for the worse since Lyft took over. There are obviously some angels - based on the leaderboard- who are spending significant amounts of time in a competitive quest for points. I’ve certainly seen 1 or 2 of them recently. Quite a sight to see.
Bay Wheels app shows remaining time inconsistently ; could it show the end time or maybe minutes lef
On my Bay Wheels app, it's hard to tell exactly when my streak will end since it generally shows hours remaining. Also sometimes it shows a different number of hours depending on which screen you're on! Could this be updated to show the hours and minutes remaining? And/or the end time?Add stations in Treasure Island (Bay Wheels)
I noticed there are no stations on Treasure Island in the Bay Wheels network; it would be really cool to have one (or a few) there! You can ride bikes over the eastern span of the Bay Bridge (i.e. to Oakland/Emeryville) just not across the western span (yet!) (i.e. to SF).
