NYC bike share starts tomorrow

News story about bike "shops" being hurt by competition from Citibike. I put shop in quotes because I'm not sure all the rental operations around Central Park come from a legitimate bike store.

I am surprised at how many tourists seem to be using Citibikes (this is anecdata based on me observing people and deciding they look like tourists). Maybe they just pay the overtime fees? I cannot imagine that a bike ride broken into thirty-minute chunks, which you'd have to do to avoid overtime charges, is much fun.

It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
