It's nice to have the option of a bike share. But it's not an option that works for everyone in any city for a variety of factors including physical ability. I use a bike share a lot, and the bikes really suck. They are heavy, shifting is often broken. They are slow. So for a biking novice a bike share bike is going to be even harder to ride in the city. For me it works, but it's not a cure all for cities..
