About this app
Lyft Bike (formerly Bay Wheels) is the Bay Area's bikeshare system, operated by Lyft — with thousands of bikes throughout San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and San Jose, available 24/7.
Choose from electric bikes or classic bikes — both built for fun, efficiency, and safety.
Find and unlock bikes instantly with the interactive map in the app, and park at any station when you're done. Ebikes offer greater parking flexibility: lock them to any public bike rack in the service area using the built-in cable lock.
Bikeshare is an eco-friendly, healthy way to get around whether you’re commuting, running errands, meeting friends, or exploring a new city.
Get started:
Scan the QR code on any bike with the Lyft or Lyft Bike app to unlock and get riding.
Ride your way:
• Single ride – great for getting started
• Day pass – perfect for visitors
• Membership – the local way to ride

Will never use again. Needed to get across town and one of these bikes seemed like a good option. There were a few stations near my destination and $3 seemed very reasonable. Well the app wouldnt work on my phone so i had to pay $10 at the booth. When i got to my destination all of the nearby stations were full and the closet station with an open spot was nearly back where i started. Save yourself time, money, and headache and take a bus.

The pricing structure isn't good for occasional short rides. If you'll make frequent short rides, you can get a membership, but if you want to ride five minutes five times a month, you'll be overpaying on a dollar-per-mile basis no matter what you do. That said, I've found that using the bikeshare is a noticeable improvement in quality of life compared to walking everywhere, more so than I'd expected. It's just a pleasure to be able to move fast.

The app itself is mediocre. QR scanner works about 1/3 of the time. When it does, the app shows an error message even though the bike gets released. Broken bikes are included in the # of available bikes at a station. The bikes are generally ok, definitely better than they used to be. Cancelled my subscription after a malfunctioning dock released a bike I had returned and Bay wheels was holding me responsible for the bike being out. Customer service was completely unhelpful.
