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).
Points distributions
I live and mostly bike in Oakland, CA. many days there are few points to be had anywhere. Contrast to San Francisco where there’s a points available everywhere. This hasn’t always been the case — and I assume there is various attempts to balance the algorithm, and that overall traffic numbers drive that One suggestion which might help a little bit is that stations with 1 or fewer open docks should always get extra points for taking something away. And completely empty stations should always offer extra. A full station are no bikes mean that someone isn’t going to land their bike there or even use a bike i have had many occasions where i’ve opened up a dock only to have it immediately filled. When points were distributed differently, I might go out of my way to help out. But with just 1 point on offer, I don’t. This should be a baseline not algorithmically determined, if you trully want to incentivize people helping out.
Waterproof seat cover - source?
Hi all! It's starting to get rainy/dewy here in the bay area. I am looking for a waterproof seat cover to keep my butt from getting wet from the seat. I once got a freebie type w/ elastic borders that fit PERFECTLY around the BayWheels bike seats, but I have since lost it and have been using heavy duty plastic bags. Those work fine but less cute. Does anyone have a good source? Alternately, anyone up for making one and putting it on etsy?? I'd be a customer!
