I lived in Midtown Sacramento for a year, and biked everywhere. There's a very active bike culture in central Sacramento (and among younger Sacramentans generally), especially in summertime. The American River Trail is amazing, literally a regional highway for bike traffic with its own rest stops--but outside the region's pre-war neighborhoods, bicycling is much less popular and there is very little safe and effective bike infrastructure.

The Capital Bikeshare website includes a user profile that keeps a record of every trip you've made.
In the year-and-a-half that it has existed, I've used the system about 200 times, and I've passed over the 30-minute threshold exactly twice. So it happens to me about 1% of the time. It is *so* not a big deal. |

David Byrne of the Talking Heads has a great editorial in today's NYT about bike-sharing. I saw Mr. Byrne at a Brookings event (http://www.brookings.edu/events/2009...transportation) about bicycle infrastructure a few years ago that also featured Jannette Sadik-Khan and Harriet Tregoning, DC's Director of Planning. Not only is David Byrne a great musician, but he's also an amateur urban planner and a committed bicycle advocate.

Byrne also wrote an amusing book of his experiences cycling in cities across the world on his many tours since the 1980s, called Bicycle Diaries. It's a good read.
