Docks make the business model unrealistic too.
- orwin 4y agoI mean, I'm French, I know we're weird. I'm also from La Rochelle (half of me is) and our most beloved mayor decided to dump 350 yellow bike all around the city in 76. Free to use. I've lived in Paris, La Rochelle, Rennes, Lille, Nantes. I do not remember one city I've lived in without docked bikes. And La Rochelle is quite small, with a population of 80k.
- roughly 4y ago> Note the absence of such bikes today in pretty much all cities worldwide I do not note this. My city has docked bikes, and has for a decade. They’ve been in NYC for the same period, Portland has them as well, and I seem to recall seeing them in New Orleans, too. I believe Boston also has a system. Hell, even Riverside had one, last time I was there. Come to think of it, I’m struggling to think of a city I’ve been to recently that Didn’t have a docked bike share.
