Houston B-Cycle

Glad we have these but they need to maintain the kiosks and have remote access. We had friends from Austin rent bikes so they could enjoy our trails. Because you have to dock and redock every 60 minutes, they were left stranded downtown when the kiosk at City Hall/​Main Library didn’t work. They docked and couldn’t undock. The issue of redoing every 60 minutes is rediculous. When we called customer service, they couldn’t do anything. Told us we needed to find another station and rent again, so double the charge.
They had to take an Über back to their car.

Houston B-​Cycle is SO fun, easy and inexpensive.
My wife and I enjoyed 24 hour access to bikes across the downtown area for only $ 5 (all tax and fees included)
The catch is you only get a 60 minute session at a time, before having to return it to a location. But the plus side is you can literally return it to any of their locations for 1 second and then rent them again (as long as not all the bikes are rented at that location, and someone isn’t waiting for a bike). If you go over the 60 minute session, I believe it’s a couple more bucks for an extra 30 minutes.
Such a great addition to the area, and so much fun. Check them out next time you’re in the area!

I unexpectedly found myself in Houston for a day after I missed a connecting flight to brazil. I had no idea what to do in Houston and called b cycles to figure out how it worked. I found both their service and the bicycles incredibly useful and fun. I highly recommend using b cycle if you are in Houston

Best B-​Cycle station in the city! Use it all the time. Conveniently located and such a great way to get around the city!

Excellent Non-​Profit organization supporting bicycling as a travel alternative throughout Houston!

It honestly doesn’t matter WHERE you pick up the bikes and ride, if you’re an individual that at least has the basics of biking down without the need for training wheels, you’ll find these 3 speed cruisers pretty effective for your fitness and/​or spare-​the-​air perusing around town.
A lot of people are confused by the costs for the bikes. It’s mad inexpensive first off… for 24 hours it’s 5 bucks. In order to not get charged for usage fees, you need to ‘dock it and undock it’ at one of the stations within an hour. So, if you plan to ride for 6 hours, you need to dock it 6 times, 1x per hour at any of the stations. Comprende? Okay.
I’m a pretty frugal chick and haven’t figured out where to invest my mula exactly for a bike, so I took full advantage of Houston’s B-​Cycle annual membership which is originally priced at $ 65/​year, but w/​the promo code for the Spring, it slashed $ 15 and ended up costing $ 50/​year. Sweeeeeet, right? Yeah, I know. Great thing about this deal is that, it’s unlimited use anytime of the year between the am hours to 11pm AND, I don’t have to worry about maintenance and allathat.
I seen one complaining reviewer at one of the sites state that this bike sharing program is not a good idea in Houston because it’s unsafe. UMMMMMMM. YOU’RE UNSAFE, SO PLEASE Don’t RIDE the Bikes EVER AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE. Spare us the drama, and the cool ones that can manage with your pitiful lack of awesome to ride baby ride.
DEUCES.
OH B4 I 4get, on Houston’s B-Cycle’s website, they track your distance cause GPS is attached the bikes and it discloses how much money you’ve saved, calories burned, and more. AWESOME SAUCE.

In love with this program! SO convenient so easy and so fun! Such a different way to see the city and at night, there is a headlight and a tail light! We rode from DGP to Frank’s Pizza in 5 minutes, all around Sabine and then back behind GRB to Woodrows for a few beers. Just fun!

The bike share was easy to use and very inexpensive. There were multiple places for us to drop the bikes off and Houston has a lovely bike path system. What a fun and terrific service. The bikes conveniently came with baskets and were in good condition. It was a terrific break from the conference.

Awesome! OMG riding bike during lunch break downtown has been sooo much superfun. Super easy to use. I ride to Discovery Green and to run errands (Walgreen and Goodyear) and to grab some food. I have discovered so many new things like the Old Hanging Oak and James Baker park. I love this bike sharing program!
