I own several bicycles, but if I don't ride one to work, I can't ride one home. Due to my schedule, I often don't ride to work in the morning, but I would gladly ride home. A bike sharing program solves that problem. $20 a month? Well worth it.

I hope someone lives near you and likes to bike to work but not home. Otherwise all these bikes will pool in gravity wells.

I work in Manhattan and live right by the Brooklyn Bridge, so I think the tourists will take care of this problem for me.
