Great...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.

This Company Needs to Stop ALL Operations This company suspended my account because they could not afford to pay me. How can a company that brags about Oprah backing them (who will never rent a bicycle in her life- let’s be for real here) punish and remove a user that has brought in hundreds of customers who have NEVER heard of the site? I also maintained a 5 star review the entire duration but I guess once they saw me approaching $10,000 in rental revenue they decided it had to come to an end. I used an alternate rental platform before Spinlister but their customer service hours did not meet my needs so I switched to them and that was a nightmare once they saw that I was in high demand. They canceled my upcoming rentals for a customer that spent over $250 and shut down my account. Very insane behavior. They have so much potential to be great but it seems that they lack basic customer service and respect. I also noticed that in the major cities , ALL the listings/listers have a maximum of 2 reviews and have been inactive for months-years AND there seems to be a fake account making fake reviews on a lot of the listings (probably to make it look like there has been activity on their app). I pointed this out to them once they paid me late twice in a row but they ensured that I was wrong and that they have had an increase of rentals by 300%. 300% is a made up number by them especially when NO ONE out of at least 1,000 people have ever heard of the company and they also could not provide this data for proof. And the app is no longer in the app store . Shocker

Glad it exists Have used it multiple times to rent my bike over the summer and it's very simple and so far I've had no issues with the renters. The only reason it's not a five star rating is I think the spin lister commission is a little high but it's a good service so I can't complain too much.

Great Service! Be sure to screen your renters. Some renters can be flaky or demand too much. Don't bend over backwards for a rental (one person expected me to drive for over an hour to deliver the bikes to a hotel). Other renters are great and completely painless, and these are the majority. Spinlister is great, especially if you live in a densely populated area. Out in the suburbs, it can be a challenge occasionally.

Great way to rent bikes for visiting friends I have rented bikes through Spinlister a few times and have found it to be a great way to rent bikes for friends who visit NYC. When I used it last summer, the reservation system was a little iffy, in that nothing was confirmed immediately and you had to message a number of people to find a bike. Otherwise, a totally pleasurable experience.
