My mother in law was telling me about the program in the Twin Cities when we were in town for the fair. My wife and I took some time at the eco building at the MN state fair checking out the bikes. They looked pretty awesome actually. Its great you are supporting this and it wouldn't be hard to get your money's worth out if it if you used it a few times. I just checked out the BCycle program online because I was curious. If I ever travel to a city I should check out if I could get one of these bikes to get around in addition to a public transportation pass. that could make getting around alot easier and bike share programs like this might have come in handy when my wife and I were walking around seeing the sights in DC and Chicago.
