I think I agree with the biking in general, self driving cars will probably make biking a lot safer both by reducing the chances of an idiot running into you, and reducing the number of parked cars on roads (riding beside parked cars is scary, because you are never sure when a door is going to open into you).

I don't think that I necessarily agree that this means bike shares will succeed though, I think private bike ownership has a lot going for it.

I have a bike and there are bike shares around me. I am still trying to figure out a policy, but I lean towards bike share for everything short, because it’s like a taxi, you don’t need to go back to your bike. But bike share are crappy, so for longer distance I need bigger wheels and gears.
