These bike sharing plans are popping up all over Europe, and I think they exist in some Canadian cities, too. I hope the idea will catch on in other parts of the world because it gets more people into using the bicycle for commuting. I wonder if any U.S. cities are on board.

I've started using the rental bikes here in Seville. When I want to go downtown now, I tend to use one of the bikes that are parked just a block from my house instead of getting out my own. It's fast and easy, and I don't have to worry about my bike being stolen. The service is also great for going out at night because you don't have to drag your bike around with you wherever you go.
