We have a program similar to yours where the bikes are in a locker and you rent them for about 5 cents an hour. The lockers are all around the city, Oakland and the entire bay area, so you could actually do quite a biking trip for fairly cheap!Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-63549814235821400512012-08-02T13:48:26.605-05:002012-08-02T13:48:26.605-05:00That is some serious talent managing to bring home...That is some serious talent managing to bring home all of that stuff on your bike!

I just thought that system was SOO COOL when I visited you! <br /><br />We don't have anything like that here and I'm not sure how used it would be if we did since it's SO hilly here. I really need to bike to work at least once this year!

We do have the MetroLink which runs to some parts of the burbs and takes people to places downtown which I know a lot of people like. (Of course there isn't one near me or my office... I did the math once and it would take me over 90 minutes to get to and from work using public transport from the burbs. A downside to living out there, I guess...). If we did have this I would totally use it though. I think it's such an awesome idea!Norahttp://walkingwithnora.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-28234214999701442432012-08-02T08:36:58.505-05:002012-08-02T08:36:58.505-05:00I am amazed that you rode the bike with all that s...I am amazed that you rode the bike with all that stuff, but am glad you didn't have to ditch the flowers!

It's more of a novelty in DSM, as there are only about 5 stations and only in tiny downtown DSM.<br /><br />You know I love this program and am so glad you introduced it to me. I love how they give you your stats, how interesting! <br /><br />I'm thinking of getting a bike too. I really want to do RAGBRAI someday and that will require a good bike! You should come down someday for it, that would be so fun!Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-10703162983708363712012-08-02T06:19:14.145-05:002012-08-02T06:19:14.145-05:00I think Boston has it too but like Becky I don'...I think Boston has it too but like Becky I don't live in a place where I can use it- it's very cool though. I do have a road bike but because I have the clipless pedals (which I don't recommend but I have because it hurts my knees biking less when I use them) it's kind of a pain to use my bike for actual errands or to get anywhere. <br /><br />I agree that you have probably saved more than 5 gallons of gas, that doesn't seem like enough for all of your miles!Kelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415604174106394910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-32726593700658977502012-08-02T06:00:24.043-05:002012-08-02T06:00:24.043-05:00I love that your city has this program!
