I, too, asked Bcycle staff about that before I went to Chicago in May. I was told that, starting NEXT year, Bcycle does plan to make the cars valid in every city that chooses to allow reciprocity.
So it will depend on where you are going next year. I suggest emailing the folks at Bcycle before your trip and asking I’m sure Bcycle can pass the email along to whoever is managing the system in that city. And even if the city you plan to visit is not planning to honor cards from other cities, enough feedback from people who would use the system might change their minds and policy.

I asked about using a Madison pass in Denver but was told at this point there is no reciprocity. It will be great if this pass could be used at other locations in the US as this is where I would utilize it. At this point, it is still a fantasy "in the works".

If I lived in Dodgeville and took the state ride-share service to the GEF bldgs or campus, I'd want a bike during the day to do errands or have lunch. I'm not sure what kind of marketing B Cycle is doing to these folks, but in DC, and probably other large cities, that seems to be a pretty big market: People that own bikes, but don't bike to work, instead taking the Metro/transit. They want a bike in the city, but don't want to have to store one at work.
