Description

BIXI is Montréal’s new public bike system. It’s the bike that’s really an alternative means of urban transport. Accessible to everyone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, three seasons of the year, from May to November. Take one when you need one, and leave it any station when you arrive at your destination. For a trip on the fly or as part of your daily routine – go BIXI! The stations are installed progressively in the spring, starting at the beginning of May, depending on weather conditions. Stations are kept in service until the end of November before being removed from the streets during harsh winter months. Gives you the right to an unlimited number of trips in a 24-hour period. For each trip, the first 30 minutes are included! Usage fees will be charged for longer trips. Thanks Magik

Now, that's COOL! Both the photo, and the bike program. I don't think it would work in Kansas City, though. Those bikes would disappear pretty quick. People here steal anything not nailed down. Sad...
