Five is ok, if there's a place meant to be the bike parking place. If not, that's five bikes locked up to poles and street signals. What about a hundred?

- jessaustin 10y agoDoes the block have 500 shared-bike riders present at any particular time? Conservatively assuming that the average rider is riding an hour a day (which would be 24:1), a 5:1 riders to bikes ratio is also a conservative assumption. If there are that many riders, then by all means it's reasonable to have 100 bikes present as well. If there aren't enough poles and racks, the bike company or the city can plant some more. It still won't cost near as much as maintaining the streets.
