RE: PESO: Ready to Ride
Nice shot! We have had a bike share programme here in Toronto for a couple of years but it hasn't been as successful as hoped. Montreal's, on the other hand, has been wildly successful.

RE: PESO: Ready to Ride
I wish them more luck than in Brisbane. We've had a scheme running here for the last few years which is massively under-used, about 10-15% of the bikes are actually used daily. The pick-up stations take up several metres of valued parking space, often in areas of high demand and also in front of densely populated areas with limited off-street parking. My suburb is mainly of pre-war construction, many are small houses with no garages, and consequently on-street parking is very highly contested. The fact we're also less than 20 minutes' walk from the CBD means we have a lot of commuter parking to contend with, so there was a valid groundswell of objections to losing yet more of our limited parking facilities. Bad luck, the whole scheme went ahead anyway! Of course, no-one is making any money out of it, despite a significant city council subsidy.

Re: PESO: Ready to Ride
That really is great, Dan. As David pointed out, good job getting Mr. blue shoes in there; he tops off the shot. One small quibble: looks to me that the blue parts are over-saturated suffering detail loss, particularly the bike frames. On Sun, May 26, 2013 at 11:37 PM, Daniel J.
