Unheard of just a couple of years ago, government-sponsored bike sharing programs are rapidly rolling across many American cities. Users typically pick up a bike and one location and drop it off at another, where it's ready for the next rider. (June 17)

Just so you all know, the bikes featured here (and showing up across the US) are Bixi Bikes. Designed, manufactured, and licensed out of Montreal, Canada. It's a huge success story for us.

@incredingo - it's a failure in Australia (and here in NZ) because of our failed helmet laws. Shared bike hire has never worked in any country with a helmet law for adults. Everywhere else, it's going gangbusters. And the very successful london 'Boris Bikes" scheme doesn't have a single death or serious injury. It's pretty much the safest way you can travel - particularly factoring in the health advantages. In Seville, bikeshare saw bike modal share go 1% (like Aus & NZ) to 7% in 5 yrs.

@sharinganclan213 Why is it stupid? They do it for the same reason they have busses. And taxis. And subways. It's a transportation option. Some people have and use their own cars, but a lot of people rely on public transportation instead. Some people don't want to deal with owning a bike that can be stolen. Some people don't have room to store bikes. Yeah, it sure is stupid to encourage people to be physically active.

Shouldn't the service be called "Capitol Bikeshare"?

I see some kids here dont understand how life in the US looks outside of their parents' farm. Listen up children. In the far far away land called NYC (for example) lives so many people that most of them have to live in small apartments in big big buildings. Most of them dont have any room to keep a bicycle helmet let alone a bicycle. In many neighborhoods you will have to drive around for hours in search of parking spot if you come back home after 7pm. Go figure why would n'body need dis prog.
