[bikeqld] free Citibikes in Brisbane

[mich rolling]

I support the Citibike scheme! There, I have said it; on this I support CanDo. 

I still think his/council approach to providing cycle access around his tunnel portals sucks and indicates a Swiss Cheese mentality when it comes to the universal application of Active Transport principles.

There is an interesting divide emerging in the Readers Comments sections of the Brisbane Times and the Courier Mail. BT readers are generally much more supportive of the Citibike idea than Courier Mail readers. (Did the Courier pick up the old Daily Telegraph demographic?)

Courier readers seem to have read the first paragraph about comparing costs and fired off a 'it'll never work here' email, BT readers got to the $20 helmet bit and then started typing.

Alison Sandy has written an article so unbalanced in its comparison of comparative costs, and of the overall intention of the scheme (to shuttle around the city between offices, coffee shops or over the bridges to South Bank) that she is unlikely to be offered a job by a broadsheet. Enjoy the tabloids baby!
