Looking forward to a Monday 3peat? Howbout a Monday 5spot to brighten the start of a long week? Just for fun, we'll cover not just Florida but the globe today. We've got bicycles on the brain in Dublin, cars boxing out bikes in Taipei, restored bicycle in India, bike lockers in Idaho, and drunk fashion designers in NYC (I think).
First: Meet 1/2 my inbox. Dublin is making a thousand rides available to the public. It's not free but as long as you bike fast and happen to be going somewhere near a terminal it can't be too bad. Apparently 2000 took advantage and no-one broke anything.
Second: How do you spend $3 million an a bike lane then let Taxis park in it? I don't know, but China seems to be doing a good job of it in Taipei.
Third: This scheme sounds familiar. The only drawback I see is traveling 120km each way to transport every bike to be fixed.
Fourth: I'd like to call on all Tallahassee city council members to vote to fund something like this. Failing that, we might want to consider funding a secure bike parking area with shower facilities downtown. Just a thought.
Finally: Can someone translate?
