What do you all think of this company's idea? You can lease a bike from them, to get started riding without the "big" expense of buying a bike up front.

I guess the big question is just, will this get more people riding then would otherwise happen? If so, seems OK, but generally, I'm resistant to this idea that literally everything needs to be done via subscriptions.

Is this available in your area and if so, is it working well or no?

No idea if it's profitable of course

Yah, that looks cool. (I've not heard of them before) €20 per month for a non-e-bike seems a really good deal.
