All these systems are very similar, must be the same (sub) contractor. The ones in Boston are nice when you're out and about and don't want to deal with lugging your bike onto the subway, or you're going out drinking and don't want to have to worry about getting your bike home at the end of the night. $90/yr is a bargain imo. I've never exceeded the 30m limit, you can stop at a dock and swap bikes along the way, if your trip takes more than a half hour. That would be rare here, biking is the fastest mode of transportation here and everything is close together.
