I looked at a mambership - $95/yr gets you "unlimited" rides...of 45 minutes. You could use one for a day's errands and travel but you'd need to be switching at least that often. For the $95 I'd rather just buy a cheapo KMart bike or something off CL and have it all to myself on my own schedule. And I'd still need the unlimited MetroCard either way..
