Cameo alert!

I reminisced with Brigitte about bike shares in Ottawa (bring it back), Montreal, Detroit, Atlanta, D.C., and Tel Aviv.

Victime de sa popularité, le service de bat de l'aile. Souvent le matin, toutes les stations autour de chez moi sont vides. C'est peut-être le signe que le moment est venu de m'acheter un vélo (et de profiter des ventes de fin de saison…) 🤔 solar.lowtechmagazine.com/fr/2

"Last fall, the program announced a major four-year growth plan that will see it bump up those numbers even more, increase its e-bike fleet, and enter all 25 of the city’s wards by 2025."

The ratio of E-bikes will also increase to 20% of the fleet. This is all a serious investment into cycling in the city!!

Petite déception. Il est de plus en plus compliqué d'utiliser Bixi sans téléphone intelligent. Les bornes ne donnent plus d'infos sur les vélos disponibles dans le secteur, les usagers sont plutôt invités à télécharger l'application. (C'est peut-être le signe qu'il est temps de m'acheter un vélo…) 🤔

Cycling hot take: Any vehicle which requires a license plate shouldn’t be in a cycle lane.

Walked 5km on this very pleasant day. It’s been 15+ years since I rode a bike, but I took a bike back, and I’m beat 😳

Just within the first few days of , it’s amazing how many of the docks are already non-functional. Vandalism, or just a poor design?

I complained alot about this week, but I'm also proud to live somewhere that the govt invests so much in public transit.

First ride of the season and some initial observations:

• Love the fact bikes now have QR codes on them and you can just scan it with your phone once you’re ready to leave.
• It’s annoying un-deployed docks show in the app as empty docks.
• Local docks seem to be pretty empty in the morning. Could be due to a lack of bikes in the system as they roll them out, but could also be due to popularity with early birds. If it’s the latter case, that’s going to be inconvenient.

spent at least $60 million on between the founding and 2019. They could buy 162,000 bikes from Costco today for that money.

I propose we shut down Bixi and give the 100,000 citizens of the Plateau a new bike.

If the first sign of spring is the return of Cadbury Cream Eggs to the continent, then the promise of is the second.

En mars, on pourrait croire que l'hiver ne finira jamais. Pourtant, dans moins d'un mois, c'est le retour de Bixi ! 🤩 bixi.com/fr

Hmmmm… 🤔 I understand not leaving a bike unattended or lending it to someone else. But what if you're robbed at knife point or something and have the bike stolen that way? Are you still liable?
