[bikeqld] Brisbane may be saddled with bike hire disaster| TheCourier-Mail

[Glen Fergus]

That's odd Peter.  I was in Paris in October 08 and formed the
opposite opinion.  Despite nasty weather, I saw many Velibs
in use; and even saw one or two near-empty racks.  Also saw the
relocation service in action (trailer load of bikes).

Nevertheless, I'd agreed "wildly popular" overstates the case.
