Love ride share bikes

I love ride share bikes. They are the future of transportation however I have a few complaints. The price, it’s so expensive for what it is. Second is the quality. Some bikes are completely decrepit and broken, ridiculous for a paid service. That being said I’m a strong supporter but there needs to be some changes.

Scam

They overcharged me, I rented 2 bikes for 35 and they charged me 3 times instead of 2, they also charged me an extra $16 and another $10. They just stole my money.
