When you need a single spice for a recipe or to pick up that litre of milk you forgot, when it seems a little too far to walk for a single item and driving is just silly, bikeshare is the perfect option. Now we just need more docking stations within the West End residential areas.
It is good to see that many businesses are finally realizing that cycling is good for their bottom line.
Good placement – along a blank wall on a wide stretch of sidewalk.
Safer location than on the roadway with a couple of posts/stantions marking the area.

Also see the lost bikes at Morton Park.
“But they took out parking places at City Hall where people stop and dash for the Brass Box to payrking tickets, city taxes etc.”
How many people still pay their parking tickets and taxes by writing a cheque, driving to city hall, and dropping it in a brass box!? It’s 2016. Pay them online. Or over the phone. Or, if you insist on being so archaic, by post.
