Bikeshares are popping up across North America, with Montreal&#39;s <a href="https://montreal.bixi.com/">Bixi</a> being the first. Here&#39;s a short video on the success of Minneapolis&#39;s system called <a href="https://www.niceridemn.org/">Nice Ride</a> (purchased from Bixi), which is now one year old. <br>

<br>One thing to keep in mind is that bikeshares work best in cities with significant amounts of bike infrastructure (bike lanes, separated on-road bike paths, pathways, etc).<br><br><a href="http://www.grist.org/biking/2011-08-01-bikeshare-makes-for-a-nice-ride-in-minneapolis-video">http://www.grist.org/biking/2011-08-01-bikeshare-makes-for-a-nice-ride-in-minneapolis-video</a><br clear="all">
