Less than a month after launching services and then suffering technical difficulties that kept people from using the bikes, Gotcha is offering free rides to Baton Rouge residents as it completes technical upgrades.

The Gotcha program in Baton Rouge has had several snags in the process of its launch this year, with multiple delays since March.
