Bike Share

Cool, just saw a NYC bike share terminal being installed today on the corner of Clark and Henry right near our apartment in Brooklyn heights. – http://blog.collins.net.pr/2013/04/nyc-bike-share.html Still not sure i’d shell out $95 a year for membership but neat that its there to buy a 24hr $10 membership. When I was in Paris I was really surprised how it seemed like all locals were using it but Montreal it seemed to be only tourists using the share-bikes.

I was in London last weekend and used their bikes. It was pretty cool, better than I expected (I was quite skeptical to begin with). The 24-hour fee was GBP 2.00 (approx. $3), cheaper than the NY one. One of my friends who lives in London is using the sharing scheme on a regular basis, but otherwise it’s mostly tourists (at least in Central London).
