That's what somebody else had said that I hadn't really thought of. A lot of us in the forums do our own maintenance but for those folks that don't and have limited space to keep a bike, this might make them attractive. $60 a year isn't much more than what a tune up will cost you.

Hopefully they won't get vandalized and weathered to the point where they lose their cuteness.

It's pretty good for a U.S. city, but that isn't saying all that much. The kiosks are supposed to have maps on them but the one next to our building doesn't yet.
