Features & Capabilities

A One-Tap Ford GoBike App

Bay Area Bikes is a simple and easy-to-use App that helps you locate the closest Ford GoBike™ docking station. With one tap you can find the closest Ford GoBike station, how far away it is and in which direction, and how many available bikes and docks it currently has.

Find out how many available docks there are at your destination easily with the full-map mode. You can even set a ride timer to help track your Ford GoBike rental and prevent late fees.

Bay Area Bikes is not affiliated with, or endorsed by Ford, Ford GoBike, Motivate or Motivate Bicycle Share, Inc. Motivate® and Ford GoBike™ are registered trademarks of Motivate Bicycle Share, Inc. All rights are reserved by the respective owners.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for quickly locating nearby bike stations and its simple, intuitive design. However, repeated issues include crashes, persistent background location use with battery drain, unreliable station/rental functions, notification glitches, and a constrained UI that can mislead in urban layouts.

Pros

Makes it easy to find the closest bike docks/stations quickly (one-handed use).
Simple, slick, and intuitive design described as fast and efficient.
Reliable and intuitive tool for SF bike share; often preferred over the official app.
Provides quick, at-a-glance station information and usability that some users find useful.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezing on iPhone, disrupting use.
Location services must run in the background, causing battery drain and raising privacy concerns (cannot be turned off).
Station locating and bike renting features are unreliable or non-functional for some users.
Notification bugs/misleading alerts (e.g., overdue or return notices without valid rental).
UI/navigation limitations in urban environments (confined map, directions not always accurate).

App keeps crashing

Running on iPhone where all other apps run fine. Maximum of about 2 minutes before freezing and shutting down. Happened now 4 times and I just downloaded today.
