Sad news: Another high-quality public(ish) bikeshare system, Houston BCycle, goes under because we don't value and fund it as a core transportation service. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/bcycle-shut-down-bike-share-houston-18367512.php
@bikepedantic damn that sucks. Frustrating they couldn't get a sponsor, CaBi has been trying for years with no luck.
@mrpresident1776 and for CaBi, sponsorship would help. For them, reliance on sponsorship killed the whole system they've worked so hard to build. it's heartbreaking, they're one of the systems i've always heard good things about, and with Veronica in Houston, they really coulda thrived in the coming years.
@bikepedantic aw, they were testing giving medical prescriptions for bcycle memberships too!
@bikepedantic don't forget incompetence and willful ignorance by local gov. DDOT is rudderless. A prop for the executive. Lyft is trashing Capital Bikeshare in plain view and it's uncertain what us advocates will be able to do about it.
