Well, I’m glad at least one of us enjoys them. Walking around them every day is getting old, fast. The city is littered with these neon orange/green/yellow things cluttering up our throughways.

Interesting. My commute by foot into downtown is 30 minutes/1.5 miles each way every day and I scarcely notice the bikes. I think they're a great idea and hope the idea flourishes.
Fremont is completely covered in them. They're parked all over the burke gilman trail, cutting away at the already limited space for walkers, bikers, and joggers.

As much as I love the idea of accessible bikes, the lack of helmets and sheer amount of space consumed feels overwhelmingly unsafe at times.
