I had a go on the Brussels Villo system yesterday. This is a new version of the Paris system run by JC Decaux. It replaces the failed Cyclocity system which was too small and you had to pay for any trip. Now it is free for 30 mins then 50c for the next. There are only 50-60 locations in the central area and a bit too far apart for comfort. Three times the stands were full up with bikes, making returning them tricky.
The bikes seemed a bit lighter than the Paris and London version, maybe it was the 7 speed hub gears that made climbing the Kuntsberg possible and zippy coming down again.
