My Response: Low tech, recycled bike programs are a good way to increase cycling IN THEORY. When you add the cost of labor to refurbish old bikes, the cost of acquiring the bikes, and the cost of replacement parts to get the bike rolling, you might as well look into a custom bicycle program. Uniform, high quality bicycles are the best way to ensure a successful program. It is proven, however, that these programs do not have the longevity of a high tech bike program. Hence, the development of the 3rd Generation Bicycle Sharing Programs!
