Bike Sharing Crashes in Canada
By Nick Summers        www.businessweek.com

When New York City rolled out its bike-sharing system in May 2013, one reason that criticism never gained much traction was that the program was said to cost taxpayers nothing. As many as 10,000 bicycles and 600 stations—“All of this without using any taxpayer money!” crowed Vikram Pandit, then the chief executive of Citigroup, which paid $41 million to have the system’s bikes and docking stations painted in its trademark blue. Opponents could carp that bike sharing was crunchy, socialist, and/or vaguely French, but they couldn’t claim it was a bad use of city funds.
Now some news out of Canada bodes poorly for urban transportation utopians. Public Bike Sharing Co., known as Bixi, the company that designed the sturdy bikes and nifty solar-powered docking stations used in New York and more than a dozen other cities around the world, was forced into bankruptcy protection in Montreal, where it also administers the local sharing program. The nonprofit has debt of…

Double Shift
An Old Guy On Two Wheels
In the morning I was Tim
Did my usual Monday morning shop.  I arrived way early because I planned for morning commute traffic that wasn’t there.  I had forgotten about the positive impact of a federal holiday on city traffic patterns.
Used the time to do some housecleaning tasks.  There is always a certain amount of entropy and chaos in a community bike shop.  It is a constant chore to restore some sense of order.
It was a relatively busy shop.  Several earn-a-bike users working on their checklists.  We made significant progress on some of our donation bikes.  And one finished his first checklist.  He said he would be back at the evening shop to begin working on his bike.  Told him I would be there to help.  Always exciting.  This program allows people to…
