More like 3.75. There is no better way to tour a city than on bike but most of the bike shares can be complicated and this one fits that. Niagara Falls is a small town so don't expect bike kiosk on every block like in larger cities. That wouldn't be a issue if the bike locater map on the web site actually worked better so you could know were the kiosk are located. I've always been nervous about getting a bike that was left in a random spot but I tried it out of necessity after doing the Maid if the Mist boat tour and walking to Canada I was tired and didn't want to walk back to my hotel. It worked out pretty well but it does take a bit of patience to maneuver the site. The cool thing is.... If you pick a random bike but return it to a kiosk you get a credit. I would use them again but at least know how to navigate the system. The bike map access is my only issue but I managed. read more

If you want a fun way to tour the American side of Niagara Falls, try renting a bike! We enjoyed biking along the Niagara Trail from the north Grand Island bridge to the Falls. The Shoreline trail has several rest stops, picnic areas and even some historical sites. Runs along the Robert Moses highway. View of the Niagara River was really nice. We bikes through Goat Island and took a break at the top of Terrapin Point. View of the Horseshoe Fall was lovely, as always. Not as many tourists due to the pandemic. Yet, handful of visitors enjoying the fresh air, sunshine and the Falls. The bikes were easy to rent. Simple instructions. Sure beats carting your bikes in your vehicle. I had tried mounting bike racks on my car several times in the past. No success. The bike rack would not properly mount, or scratch the top of the car etc. Considering I only need a bike rack occasionally, this was a good alternative. Not too expensive, hassle free. We purchased the group rate of $9.00 for two days, up to 4 riders. Hourly rate of $6.00 and $2.00 out of hub fee. I'm all for two bikes for around 2 hours we spent $40.00 approximately. Next time, I'd like to rent the Reddy bikes in the city of Buffalo. I'd recommend the Reddy Bikeshare. read more

See all

Bikeshare services are an interesting transportation option when we're traveling in metropolitan areas. Reddy app was easy to use and were available by light rail stations and around most touristy locations. Reddy's bikes weren't the greatest- seats on a majority of bikes we rode were adjustable but slipped to the lowest level as we rode them. And they need more e-bikes. Note that ride share services may not be right for anyone not comfortable with not wearing a helmet, and they can be on the pricey side read more

I'm finally Reddy to write this review. Well Buffalo isn't the best place to have a bikeshare system, because it's so cold for so long, but when the weather isn't more frozen than the movie frozen, cycling around this lovely old "Queen City" is a great idea. In the old days I'd cycle to soccer every week, from Amherst to North Tonawanda. Not a fun ride in sub zero, let me tell you. Now this amazing concept from progressive cities around the world has reached Buffalo. You can jump on one of these bikes for next to nothing, and cycle wherever you want to in the area, and then drop them off at one of the many locations. Price is pretty cheap, comparable to other cities that have these bikes, and the quality of the bikes is pretty good and brand new. The only real problem is, they're not comfortable at all. My Dad runs a bike shop in England, so I know comfy saddles and comfortable bikes, and of course the Reddy Bikes probably don't want to invest that kind of money in street rentals because it will make them more stealable. If they were a little more comfortable to sit on, I'd be likely to use them more often. Now I'm Reddy for the next review. read more

Reddy Bikeshare - Hold on I'm not reddy - Bike Sharing Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I love having a bike option for the handful of times I want to bike somewhere, but not needing to shell out for a bike that will pretty much collect dust in the garage. It's super easy. Sign up for an account and download the app. Then just walk up to a bike and follow the instructions on the bike screen. If you don't feel like memorizing your account number, you can reserve a bike from the app and then you only need your PIN once you're at the bikes. There's a bike lock holder on the side of the bike. Just lock it up again once you're at your destination! The bikes are pretty well maintained and I've never had an issue. Sometimes the buttons are a bit sticky, so it might take a few tries to enter your code in correctly. And for the cheapskates out there (me included!), if you return a bike that's out of the dock you get a credit on your account to use towards future rides! read more

EDIT- I have since been refunded so I gave it 3 Stars. I signed up on the App, which was easy. However it stated there were 3 bikes at my location, there were 2. One read under repair, the second claimed I was unauthorized to rent it. However it charged me over $9 as though I did rent it. My issue is that I immediately emailed their support contact listed and have still never received a reply or refund. read more

This has been something I've been wanting to do with my daughter, to ride around Delaware Park together. Yesterday, I had this opportunity so I took it.   When we walked up to the bikes, there were about 6 bikes there (locked up).  I learned that I had to download an app and register first before I could unlock any of the bikes. The app downloaded pretty quickly, and the registration process wasn't too bad as it only took me a couple of minutes to complete. As you are registering, you'll have to select which plan you'd like, whether it's annual, hourly or group pass. Since I wanted 3 bikes, I selected the group pass which costed $20 + tax (just for the plan itself). After that the next step was to unlock the bikes, which in my opinion, was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT and took way too long.  The keypads on the bikes simply did not work very well at all. After registering, you'd have to put in your account number (or your phone number), and then your pin.  Well, it took SEVERAL tries to punch in each number, and the keypads just did not take. For example, I'd press the "4" about 8-15 times each, and nothing would happen. Then press "4" again, then it would take, then press the next number and it wouldn't take.  One time, it shut down on me as I was punching in the numbers, and I had to start over.  Another time, I was able to punch in the account number (finally), and found that the bike was unavailable and "down for maintenance".  I tried, and tried (and kept trying) to unlock those bikes. It took me about 5-7 minutes to unlock my first 2 bikes (not bad I guess), but about 20 minutes to unlock my 3rd bike.   Once I got on the bike (finally), the bikes were heavier and bulkier than expected. We went around Delaware Park once, and decided we were done. Locking the bikes back up were a breeze. Overall, I had a very difficult time unlocking the bikes. It turned out to be too difficult of a process, for something that SHOULD have been super simple. I was extremely frustrated and probably would not do this again. read more

Accessible , easy to use bike share program that I have used several times this past summer. Once you get through reading all of the directions to download the app & set up your account it's really quite easy to use. The bikes are typically well maintained and if you do have an issue you can report it on the app. I like that the app tells you where the nearest bike rack is and how many bikes are there so you can easily drop off your bike after a ride or hop on one. What is also neat is that at the end of your ride it tells you how much mileage you covered. If you're looking for a leisurely bike ride around the city I for sure recommend! read more
