My First Ubicycle Ride in Victoria BC

Tuesday I rode for the first time one of Victoria's u-bicycle. It was cool.

There's a few vagaries to work out before the entire experience can be considered a success but it seems one complete ride is sufficient to cover them all.

Firstly, one needs money in their Ubicycle WALLET. The 'wallet' is where one deposits money -- it can be done using the app -- BEFORE the app will unlock the bike.

The next significant item in completing the transaction is to lock the bike once its use is no longer required.

LOCK-OUT IS DONE MANUALLY by placing one's thumb on the actuator and physically pushing the lock through the spokes. Remember: it's a good idea to secure the helmet by engaging its strap within the lock.

Pandora Avenue VIDEO 6-minutes and quite boring . . .
