Brisbane's City Cycle Transport

This is a photo from last Wednesday night.
In Brisbane we have this cycle scheme whereby you hire a bike in one area & ride it to another area that has a bike depot.
You pay by the month. You put in your pin number at the bike rack you are going to get the bike from.
It is BYO Helmet.
There has been a lot of controversy over putting this transport system in Brisbane.
It cost a fortune to set up. I think it will eventually take off, but it will take some time.
It is going broke.
Each time I see them, there doesn't seem to be many being used.
Having said that, Lynda & I saw a fellow using one the other night.
I think people just aren't used to riding bikes.
Thought you might be interested in this.

Actually sounds like a pretty good idea, and I think you're right, it may just take a little while until people get used to the idea.
