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.Monthly Rewards
I have 2 questions about Bike Angel Rewards: I redeemed 1,000 points for a $200 gift card in the app last night, but I neither received any conformation in the app nor any email. Am I now understanding correctly that it inexplicably won’t be emailed to me until the end of next month for some reason? I show 762 points this month alone. Am I understanding correctly that since 762pts is above the 200-point threshold that I will automatically receive $114.30 ($1.50 for every 10 monthly points) for achieving Platinum Pedal status this month according to the screenshot I’m including here?
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???
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.
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.
