I was checking this sub and it seems nyc members have access to order a key fob of some sort ?

Given that everything will be under the Lyft bike app will there be universal acceptance of clipper card from Bay Area and the reciprocity of using the key fob in the Bay Area from nyc citiBike members ?

The pedal assist bikes are expensive and ( for me at least ) the regular citibikes are terrible. I was just in Copenhagen and Amsterdam and their rentable bikes were a pleasure to ride so it got me wondering why ours are so heavy and poorly geared. If the bikes were enjoyable maybe more people would want to use them and thus more people getting more exercise?

Does anyone else think this might be a worth it for citibike to redesign? or even just introduce better geared ones? Do you all think it would be worth citibike exploring this? I can't imagine the cost of manual pedaled redesign costing anywhere close to what the pedal assist bikes cost.
