Yep, me too. I've seen a koisk off of Hermitage Avenue (near the new construction) and there's one in the parking lot in Five Points.

Wish there was one at the Downtown Y. There's one in front of my work, would be great for lunch break workout.

Portland, Oregon tried this several years ago (1994) using a different model.
It worked until the bikes were all stolen.

I guess they are going to try it again, but similar to your version.

Hopefully you guys are going to be smarter about it than we were/are.
At least you have better weather for cycling!

Yeah, I've thought about the bikes being stolen...but if they are smart then they probably have them all chipped so they can track them.


As for better weather...well...maybe at times. It can still get cold in the winter, we have periodic thunderstorms, and especially violent ones in the spring. It gets hot and extremely humid in the middle of summer, along with pop up thunderstorms that come with no warning.

But aside from that, we can have some really nice and mild weather. lol. I think this will be a lot more popular during the sunny days of spring and fall.
