Bike Rental

Picked this story up from a tweet by Carlton Reid. Briefly summarised; Dublin’s bike hire scheme has seen a fantastic response to its launch; so much so that they have run out of registration cards! Full story here: http://www.sbpost.ie/

Personally I cant believe we don’t have these in Glasgow! I think from the success of these schemes in France, The Netherlands, Germany, Canada etc.. someone in the Scottish parliament would try and push such a scheme for cities like Glasgow. A story in the scotsman a few months back reported the possibility of such a scheme in Edinburgh, but as usual they are dragging their heels when it comes to implementation.

As I posted yesterday, I cant believe we are wasting money on £14m worth of train station parking that I cant see a lot of people benefiting from, when it could be spent on schemes like these and dedicated bike path construction. WTF?
