New York plans a big bike sharing program starting in about two weeks. However as the program launch approches, New Yorkers start complaining and adversing themselves to the project because....
they found out that you actually need bikes and bike racks for such a project. OH MY GOSH!
Thank God for the New Yorkers' brilliant minds, I would have never found out such a thing myself.
Turns out the bike racks (placed by 30 or 50 on side walks) take up quite some space and event parking lots! Some adverse to the project because the places attract dirt, garbage and vermin (which place does not in a big city??), others because municipal bicycle racks have been relocated in favor of the bike share program.
Well, we don't have to look as far as New York to find such ridiculous reactions. Even in Roeselare, opposition rised against the installation of bike racks in the main shopping street Ooststraat on which I previously dedicated a blogpost.
Really, it's sad to see people prefer individual conveniences and habits above the bigger picture of sustainable transportation
