We’re getting a bike share program here in Toronto. The Council vote was 33-8. 1,000 bikes will be available, at 80 parking spots around the city. There will be a cost, but it’s not unreasonable – about $80 per year, $30 per month or 5 bucks a day. I’m a bit surprised the private sector hasn’t become involved. Imagine the advertising potential if your company were the sole sponsor of the program and it was because of you that bikes were available at say a buck a day. In any case, I think the program is a great idea for locals and tourists alike. The bikes should be on the road next May.

Nice! I would have loved a program that loaned me a bike for $1 a day. I just bought a new Electra Townie bike to use on the miles and miles of bike trails all over Sacramento. (My early 70’s Schwinn was going to cost $250 to repair, so I decided to sell it and go with new.) But really, I’m on the road so much that I’ll probably only be riding it twice a week at most, and a share program would have been ideal!
