In Montreal for two weeks- possible/recommended to get Bixi membership?
I'm going on a trip to Montreal for two weeks, arriving in a week. I was previously looking at renting a bike from Dyad for at least a week, but a month-long membership with Bixi is only 30 CAD. However, you signup for the membership online and keys are mailed.
1) Is it possible to get a month-long membership and key for the bikes in person? (i.e. avoid having keys mailed to my home in the US and possibly arriving after I've departed)
2) Given that the two weeks will include a VIA Rail trip to Quebec, am I better off getting a bike rental for the whole time and bringing the bike with me when I go to Quebec (3 day trip)?
3) How reliable is the Bixi system? Again, is just getting a weekly rental bike a better deal for a bike I can rely on (and actually enjoy using for transportation, unlike clunky Bixi bikes?

How long can you use a BIXI?
Yes, 24 consecutive hours! This lengthy time limit allows you to ride your BIXI for as long as you want, without worry. However, you must always ensure the bike's safety, as it is your responsibility. We therefore recommend returning your BIXI to a station as soon as you are finished riding it.How do I use BIXI monthly pass?

How it works. Users with valid OPUS cards should go to the Bixi website and look for a bicycle logo to register their cards.

They must also create a Bixi account and enter credit card information in order to pay for Bixi rides.How do I get BIXI electric bike?
