November 27, 20195 yr Looks like all 5 bikeshare bikes that are left in service in Cleveland are going away for the winter. I've never heard of this company but hopefully version 2 of the bike share program is way better than the current.
June 1, 20205 yr Huntsville, Alabama is shutting down their Pace bikeshare system permanently, citing Covid-19 as a major factor. I don't know much about that specific system, but I wonder if other bikeshare systems across the U.S. are also struggling.
July 3, 20204 yr Saw a few HOPR dockless bikes appearing in various locations around Cleveland today. Wade Oval across from CMA and Random Road in Little Italy. Seem to getting deposited where the old UH Bike Stations were located. Way more expensive than the nonprofit sponsored bike share systems. HOPR is $1 to lunock/$0.15 per minute or $15/day, $30 for a 30 day pass w/ 60 minutes per day. Would prefer pricing like RedBike at $100/yr, CoGo at $75/yr.
July 3, 20204 yr Its operated by the same company that did operations for the UH bikes, no? Those prices are pretty steep. $9 for an hour?!
July 4, 20204 yr Yep, same operator – CycleHop ran the prior bike share system, with UH as lead sponsor. CycleHop now does business as HOPR – without a sponsor in Cleveland. Not sure if HOPR is looking for a new sponsor, or pivoting to a different business model. HOPR claim's to be getting into the scooter game too, not sure where. Prices do seem a little steep. Better ride fast on that pay-as-you-go plan!
