Never received bike key with membership, chat support is not useful
Hi, I started a CaBi membership in March of this year and recently became a bike angel. I never received my key that was noted as a perk of the membership I signed up for in March. I contacted support, and was told it will take another 4-6 weeks for my bike key to be delivered. Is this a common issue? I was looking forward to that membership perk but am now halfway into my yearly membership and am still waiting around for a key and the chat support is unhelpful.
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)
Is it worth it to move undocked CaBi e-bikes as a Bike Angel?
There are many e-bikes that are not docked at a station. If I got on one to move it to a station and collect points, would I still be charged the unlock fee and per minute? Trying to understand what the incentive is for bike angels to move undocked bikes to stations.
Hello everyone!
Hi! I just joined the community and I'm excited to work with everyone to discuss solutions to some of the problems in Capital Bikeshare. However, I don't see many... or any... posts about CaBi. Is this because there are simply so few due to their recently being invited or is it a comparatively small group? Thank you for your graceful, kind, and understanding answers.
Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) Bike Angels Leaderboard
It seems like the NYC community has been going strong for a number of years, but not so much for Washington, DC riders participating in Bike Angels. We haven't been getting any updates or information about what is happening, so I'm glad we are now being invited to this community forum. In 2021 I started keeping track of Bike Angel Monthly Winners and the point totals, and have been maintaining these stats for DC. Very unscientific! I got into doing Bike Angels for a few reasons, the competition (hence keeping track), it's a good way to get exercise, and it's an excellent way to explore DC. For CaBi Bike Angels, here is your historical leaderboard and list of winners if you haven't come across it previously. https://adcjourney.com/bike-angels/ cheers JB991 P.S. Riders have gotten a little wild in terms of point totals in the last 5 months, maybe a direct correlation to the fact that CaBi added the option to redeem points for gift cards. We don't get money like NYC, how do we change that???A community for all Bike Angels
In 2021, we launched this community with less than 100 Bike Angels from NYC who ride with Citi Bike to understand how Angels would interact here and what we can learn from the community. Today, the community has grown to more than 1900 members, and we have Angels from outside NYC represented in the community. We’re pumped to share that we’re expanding the community to create a space where Bike Angels from cities across the U.S. can connect and find answers. Did you know there are about 50,000 Angels in NYC, but that's only 71% of all Angels? What’s changing? We’re inviting about 14,000 new Bike Angels to join in the conversation here. One thing to note: Angels from different cities have different experiences with their bikeshare system and the Bike Angels program. For instance, Bike Angels in Chicago can earn points for moving scooters, too! And, rewards offered differ by city—check out the links at the bottom of our homepage. When chatting, keep in mind that you may be replying to someone with a slightly different experience with their bikeshare system or the game. How can I help build the community? As founding members of the Bike Angels Community, you all have set the pace for how we’ll communicate here. New members may need some help along the way, and of course, we’ll make them feel welcome. If you spot duplicate threads or irrelevant replies, kindly steer members in the right direction to help keep the community productive and organized.
