They should give an award to the person who made the most trips in the year.

While I'm very glad it's been successful beyond anyone's hopes or predictions, I have a vision of expansion to many times its current size. The city is huge, and for every trip by bike, there are perhaps a hundred trips by car. Can we envision changing that balance radically? What would it take? A docking station on every block? This is a great example of "if you build it, they will come." Why not expand it to the far reaches of the outer boroughs? It seems to be heavily used everywhere so far.
