If you look at the reference link, there are the bike designs for bike share competition that Copenhagen sponsored.

Have I overstated my point in the article?

Gee, Shootingstar, if you had opinions, I wish you'd share them. :D

Actually, you stated your point admirably. I see nothing wrong with what you wrote.

BTW, did you know you are one of my bike advocacy heroes? I am in awe of your work.

You're generous Momonbike. Lots of other people are super duper troopers more than I. Well at least, the people I know..and I live with one. :rolleyes:

Maybe I just complain or talk too much at times. :o

One of the bike designers with his design, rationalized that a heavy bike for bike share system meant that less probability of theft. Understandable, but totally counterproductive to encourage more use of bike during a day.
