Given our July conversation about the potential for bike sharing in Boston, I know some may be interested in this press release for the Mayor’s Office:
Today, [Mayor Menino] proudly announced bike lanes have been put down on Commonwealth Avenue in Allston and American Legion Highway in Roslindale, with more planned, and that 250 bike racks have begun to be placed across the city, per resident recommendations. He also announced that the City has released a request for information (RFI) for bike sharing, where one can rent a bike and tour the City using multiple pick up and drop off locations.
The .pdf of the RFI can be found on the city’s Boston Bikes page or downloaded here.
Please share widely!

Sounds pretty cool. If it’s cheap, and not too tough to work out logistically, I think it could be a fun and eco-friendly system (cut down on driving, get some exercise, etc.)
have a membership fee (or at least the bicycle system in Paris didn’t have one and I would hope one isn’t implemented for Boston either).
