“If you live in a major urban centre in most parts of the planet right now, you’ll likely be aware of the rapidly emerging presence of public share bicycles all over your sidewalks, around your train stations, and in your city squares.

Here’s my article on what exactly, is driving the bikeshare boom and why it should be embraced, rather than feared and despised by bicycle retailers.
