I was run over by a guy on a "yellow bike" which was green in Boulder colorado. It seems to me that the benefit of riding a bike has to be coupled to the responsibility of caring for it. I would think perhaps a program where area establishments had loaner bikes could work. If a, oh lets say zine library so I don't immediately give in to corporate convenience, had a location by a park and could loan out bikes so people could go for a spin in the park, read some zines, and come back. Then the library could have increased visitation. Hey, a library might be a neat place to keep a community shared bike and everyone could have access until its stolen or liberated by radical forces or whatever. Peace Art

Do they exist? I haven't heard of one that lasted. I am curious because I was reading about the Blue Bike Program
