Saturday's Times-Union says that the "Bike Share" bikes were scheduled to be picked and stored this weekend. They were still in the rack when I last passed by, but I don't think I came that way yesterday. Putting them away for the winter makes it definite that they are strictly for the tourists. As if the lack of facilities for one-way trips hadn't already made that plain. I spoke to a representative of the folks pushing "bike share" at some event last summer, and said "We need to have more racks than bicycles . . . " He truncated my statement after "racks" and launched his canned speech about how we need lots more stations, each shoe-horned absolutely full of very expensive bikes. I'm all for more docking stations, but if they intended this program for transportation, they would get the bikes for the new stations by taking one or two from each of the existing stations, leaving people who want to ride from one station to another a place to park. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
