Point-to-Point Bike Rental
A company in Lyon, France has introduced a point-ot-point bike rental system, reports Wired News. This isn't a new idea in itself - we blogged about Vienna's system last year - but the Lyon company has fixed some of the more troublesome aspects of bike rental. Everyone must leave a 150 euro deposit and, if the bike is not returned, the deposit is non-refundable. And, to encourage more people to ride the bikes, the first half hour is free -- making, apparently, 90 percent of all trips free. In the last three months, the bikes are travelling about 25,000 miles per week.
Pretty cool.
