Also, as I sadly discovered, beyond a 2 second LED blip, there's no way to verify a successful bike dock. And a botched docking could cost you $1200.

There's a beep, an LED blip, and once it's docked you cannot remove it from the rack. There's lots of things wrong with the system, but returning bikes is pretty darn low on the list.

Couldn't you test by trying to take the bike back out again? If it worked it's locked in if it's not then you know it's botched? It's what i do in London with the share bicycles
