Contact Divvy Bikes Support

Absolutely horrible if you want to rely on it as a form of transportation. If you want to take random rides for fun, I guess it’s fine. Their bikes are insanely heavy and hard to maneuver. The seats are impossible to adjust. The baskets they have are completely useless so you better not have anything that you need to bring with you. The e bikes are kind of good but same basket issue and you can never find them or their batteries are dead. And then there’s the issue of the docks. It’s feast or famine. They either have completely full docks so you can’t lock up the bike you have or there’s no bikes available. I tried using it as my commute to work but the complete lack of dependability on their end meant I was either going to be late or I had to use different transport. And then it’s only financially feasible if you pay for the year which if you only use it occasionally is not worth it. I don’t understand. I’ve used bike shares in other cities and they are leaps and bounds better than divvy. The bikes actually work, they have decent baskets so if you have a bag to tote it’s not a problem, you can actually find the bikes and there’s plenty of docks. Also, be wary of the e bikes because I had a $15 ride recently that was only 5 miles because I happened to be in a higher COL area. Save your money and buy yourself a bike that actually works, take the el, walk, drive. Don’t use divvy.

I downloaded the app and went to set it up with my info. Apparently you cannot do this. I called to say that when I tried to set up the account it seemed like I could only do it if I signed up for a year. I said I did not want that I just wanted to be able to occasionally use a bike. She said I cannot sign up on line or on the app then. I asked why it says the best way purchase a ride is through the app if you can only use the app if you are signed up with an annual membership. I said I think I am missing something because an annual membership we make purchasing a single ride unnecessary. I was really trying to understand what I was missing. I left the phone call still confused, and blown away by how condescending the woman I spoke to was. I am still not sure what the purpose of this app is.

Divvy updated their backend *again* and had to recover my account a second time. This time it could not find my account and never send the verification email. Divvy has been going downhill every since Lyft started operating the service; it’s clear they want to kneecap the service to get more people to use their ride hailing product Lyft also disabled third party access from apps like Transit, even though their contract with the city specifically states they must act in “good faith” with third party developers. Look up the history on this; they did the same thing to CitiBike in New York. Lyft is a scum company that has no interest in improving bike travel in the city. They only care about profits and keeping users within their walled garden Lyft app
