This story from the BBC news site has saddened me somewhat. If you’ve read my post from a while ago about the joy of using Paris’s Vélib scheme, you’ll understand why.
I sincerely hope that JC Decaux’s fears about costs don’t put a stop to the Vélib scheme – or, indeed, bike schemes in other cities. The sad thing is that this kind of vandalism and destructive, moronic attitude towards what is, from personal experience, an extremely good and useful form of urban transport seems to be an inevitability.
