What I find interesting about the chart is the low overall BOB usage - 100 or so a month out of 40,000 total rides. I'd be curious to know if that represents a decent number of people using it occasionally, or four or five guys using it for a regular commute. One person could easily account for most of the increase if she used it for commuting 20 days with a round trip each day.
