    I’ve heard from a local that they are constantly having to transport the bikes uphill again because nobody takes them that direction. Still better than cars, but not ideal.

      There are 2 hills, the rest is flat. And one of them is not really populated. Having trucks move bikes between station is pretty standard to ensure correct distribution of bikes, hills notwithstanding.

        Yeah, i can’t imagine that anybody involved in the set up of the system was under the illusion that people would ride these heavy ass single speed (?) bikes up those hills.
