Vote for Cycling on May 1st

why is the velib a sht idea? please explain. (ignoring the fact that london's full of theiving opportunistic vandalising cnts that would probably find a way to screw up the system) ... cant see any cons even if it's fully funded by the gov't.

You're right that it seems like a good idea, the Paris scheme is by some accounts quite a success too. Though I'm not sure if we need anymore 'visual pollution' by advertisers.

But, i just can't see it working, for the exact reason you are ignoring. Also I just think as soon as a few get nicked, they'll become 'cool' to own instead of rent. Anyway you'll have to walk miles to find a station, London is MASSIVE compared to Paris or Vienna. When you get there, chances are there'll be no bikes because, like everyone else, you're hoping to pick one up at Liverpool street station. Just think it smells of White Elephant.

aroogah I am not standing for Mayor, sorry. Vote Michael Hodges!
