I’m assuming from your reply your ‘European Vacation – Project Bikeshare’ will be articles on the Mobility Lab site and not on a separate blog site? I bookmarked the Mobility site, a good site to read, thanks. You might find mo-bility an interesting concept from Green City e.V. and others in Munich.

It will be interesting to read what you think of the infrastructure and use around Europe. I really am envious of the trip!!!

Today I was running errands around 5 pm when I saw several people either carrying or wearing a bike helmet -- with no bike. Seemed a bit odd until I realized I was close to a large Citibike station, and these were bikesharing commuters ready to head home.

I live in the financial district -- surrounded by large office buildings. The racks in my area are almost empty at night -- clearly lots of people are commuting on Citibikes.

Update on NYC bike sharing, with predictable problems of availability.

lol... maybe more NY'ers will be inspired to simply buy their own bike.

Maybe so. However, with bike share, you don't have to worry about your bike being stolen. Here's a recent bike theft story.
