Autrefois rĂ©servĂ© aux grandes villes, le vĂ©lo en libre-service connaĂźt aujourdâhui une vĂ©ritable ascension partout au QuĂ©bec. Son utilisation a plus que quadruplĂ© dans les cinq derniĂšres annĂ©es, au moment oĂč le principal opĂ©rateur, BIXI, part Ă la conquĂȘte de plusieurs rĂ©gions.
After many years of complaining, I am happy to see a change. But why are they treating this like a promotional exercise and not trying to make rebalancing the network a thing people do?
Are they still going to have that scumbag system where you get emailed a code that you have to manually put in the app to get your bike?
#Bixi #Montreal
#Les3BonheursDuJour du 26 avril : đč
âą Le calme des rues en ce dimanche matin : des coureurs, des cyclistes, des enfants, presque pas de voituresâ;
âą Le #BIXI rouge pĂ©tant que j'ai trouvĂ© pour aller et revenir de la boulangerie par les pistes cyclablesâ;
⹠La gentillesse du service chez Fous Desserts, sur Laurier (qui s'ajoute à l'excellent café et aux viennoiseries délectables).
So as I start making my turn with a #bixi a pedestrian decides to switch from slow walk to jogging faster towards me. I'm on a street and started the turn with plenty of time and clearance which it felt like he tried to suddenly cut short.
I dock the bike and see that he's now back to .... A slow walking pace
Did he just try to play chicken with me?
đ Flashback to the early days of Bixi in Montreal. Similar bikeshare systems around the world donated a bike, and it was fun to see how many you could spot and identify.
