Stations in need of extra attention will sometimes have a valet present. A valet is bikeshare employee that helps retrieve bikes when a station is overloaded or busy. Valets help riders get to their destination without worrying about the fullness at their chosen stations, which is particularly useful at commuting stations or special events. How do I know if there’s a valet? You’ll see a person icon on the station marker on the map. This means there is a valet at that station. If the station is offering Bike Angels points, that will show as normal. How does a valet affect Bike Angels? Bike Angels can pick up at a Valet station, but the ride must start at a dock. Valet reps can’t manually start rides with undocked bikes. All the same BA rules apply to rides that start or end at a Valet station.How do I get a metal key?
From 2018 - 2020, the highest Bike Angels reward was the steel bike key created by Tomorrow Labs and created for Citi Bike. When the Bike Angels program was updated in 2021, Lifetime Rewards were expanded to include the Hustlin’ Hero and Power Angels tiers and a new Bike Angels branded key was introduced. We no longer have stock of the steel or gold metal Citi Bike bike keys. Check out the current Lifetime Achievement rewards by visiting your bikeshare system’s Bike Angels page, which can be found at the bottom of our homepage.Digital Rewards FAQ

What is a streak? A streak is a perk activated when a Bike Angel takes three consecutive point-earning rides in a 24-hour period. 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? Don’t take any ‘negative’ rides. 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.Intro to the Bike Angels Profile
