GBTotal Burn Total Burn. Used the app to rent a bike out on a recommendation, everything went smooth until I tried to get paid. No response from support, no payment received, website not working. DO NOT RENT YOUR BIKE VIA THIS APP!!!!

GBCool service. I've used this when traveling to other cities. Everything has gone pretty smoothly, and the one hiccup I had once with a bicycle owner was professionally handled by Spinlister. The long and the short of it is that I was asked to lock up the guy's bike in a certain place to leave it for him to come pick up (because my rental was over), and it was stolen because he waited 6 days to pick it up. I explained everything by email to Spinlister and that was that. I'd recommend sending a text picture of the bike locked up if the owner is asking you to lock it up somewhere at the end of the rental.

GBGreat...eventually I tried using Spinlister for a trip last year and the person whose bicycle I asked to rent never replied. I had the same experience this year. But then the Spinlister desk got in touch, gave me a coupon, and encouraged me to try again, which I did. Third try was the charm -- great bike at the right price. Happy ending.

CAGreat website and great service I've only used Spinlister once, when I went to New York (Brooklyn) for a week last summer. I found a bike that was totally affordable for the week, though it was in pretty poor condition. (You get what you pay for, right?) I would definitely use this again for another trip and will likely put my spare bike on the site to rent, once I've tuned it up a bit.

GBGreat concept, not a lot of worthwhile users This is a great idea, in theory. But I didn't get a lot of people wanting to rent my bike. The ones that were interested wanted it for only brief periods of time, making it not worth my while to do the legwork of arranging pickup and dropoff. Do I want to exchange multiple emails, multiple text messages, and rendezvous twice so I can pocket fifteen dollars? No. If more people wanted it for a week at a time, it would make more sense.
