We have nextbike in Cardiff and they've been a huge hit. There's static points to return them to, which most people seem to do, and the pricing is very sensible. There's no security deposit like with oBike, and they've rigged up some deals with the local council and universities to get more people using them. The quality of the bikes is alright, and I just carry a keyring with a few utility allen-keys on it in case anything needs tightening (though they are prompt at fixing broken bikes, it's handy to be able to tighten something up if you're in a rush). https://www.nextbike.co.uk/en/news/another-27-nextbike-locations-have-been-announced-for-cardiff/ https://www.nextbike.co.uk/en/news/another-27-nextbike-locat... Now if only our council would design cycle lanes that weren't massively fucking stupid, we'd be golden. Sidenote: I was sat in a bar having locked one of the nextbikes up outside (lock through the wheel, on its stand), and got a very entertaining 5 minutes watching a woman and her partner try to steal it. They didn't seem to understand that it was locked. They're also fecking heavy, so I'm not sure how far they'd have gotten with it if they had the brainpower to move it in the first place.
