I saw that segment, too, and agree with the statements about the reporter.
I'd like to know who's responsible for maintenance on these bikes? Every day that I ride, I have to pump up the tires on my bikes - who's going to do that on these? What about saddle height?
I dunno.....I see lots of things wrong with the concept. This sounds like one of those feel-good politician things.....maybe a politician who's brother owns a bike shop or something.
