As Vancouverites know now, the City of Vancouver recently approved a pilot demonstration bike share program to be implemented in time for Olympics 2010 next year.

One seriously wonders given the decision made this late..how this will work. My brain wants to be convinced that visitors will want to cycle in February when it's cold and higher probabilityof rain during Olympics. Who knows, maybe some closed off car lanes and pedestrian crowds will determine the need.

(There are other free little booklets at website on various subjects too on urban planning issues/commentary, mostly illustrative with photos.)
