Ithaca Bikeshare Reviews

Despite the general slowness and bugginess of IthacaBikeshare , I decided to give it a try. The setup process was difficult and tedious (manual card entry; why do I have to activate the bike twice to unlock and ride?). The bike itself claims to be an e-bike but offers little to no pedal assist. I couldn’t get it to activate up a slight incline without a running head start. And forget about hills on these bikes, they can’t handle them. Finally, I gave up and attempted to end my ride. Despite propping the kickstand, the bike would not be recognized as parked no matter what I did. IthacaBikeshare kept spinning and throwing red error messages. This entire system is dangerously bad and should be taken down before someone gets hurt.

Takes forever to load, half the time doesn’t even load after waiting several minutes.

Bikes are very convenient but app is horrible and often takes 5-10 minutes to finally end trips

Can be convenient but od annoying

We had so much fun on our first ride. It was a seamless experience start to finish!

Great service that deserves more credit for their hard work!

It’s just like limebike, but exclusive to Ithaca. It won’t abandon us like Lime.

Great service by great people!

As of 2/2023 IthacaBikeshare functions ALMOST flawlessly.. we had some hiccups over the last 6 months but they seem to have most of the bugs worked out!
