Once a streak is active, points on the map are multiplied for a given amount of time or until the streak is broken. How do streaks work? Take 1 ride to unlock a 2x multiplier for 24 hours Take 3 more rides while you have a streak to unlock a 3x for 24 hours Take 4 more rides while you have a streak to restart the 24-hour clock and extend your streak How do I keep my streak?

A negative ride is a ride that brings bikes to a station that doesn’t need bikes or takes away a bike from a station in need of bikes. * A Neutral ride will not break an active streak.
