Going to Montreal, London, or Boston? Don't worry about renting a car. Those three cities provide free (for 30 min) bikes for anyone with a credit card to use! However, if you're going to Portland you may want to bring cash or check to pay for your bike permit. No money to spend on bikes? If you're down on the gulf coast make sure to bring plenty of gator spray!First: Several weeks ago I linked to the Bixi project in Montreal. The idea was to have dozens of self sufficient checkout stations for renting bikes. Well, the idea worked so well that Boston and London have signed up! Expect 10,000 Bixis roaming the streets of London in the next few years (Boston is still negotiating).
Second: Portland has always been on the bleeding edge of bike awareness. Now they're redoing their bicycle master plan for 2030 (it's never too early to be thinking about bike advocacy!). BikePortland is doing a multi part series on the project. (Via BikePortland)
Finally: I've heard of odd riding gear but this is ridiculous!
