It never crossed my mind how they carried all canoes home at the end of the day after everyone had their fun. It’s impressive.More...

I stumbled upon the BIXI bike sharing system in Ottawa on our way to a friend’s graduation last year. The link goes to the Montreal site for some reason. Maybe they are meeting greater success in Montreal?

It’s $3 for the first 30 minutes, and the fare increases the longer you don’t return it. This encourages users to return the bikes more often.

With summer coming, the system should see increasing use. I wonder how’s the ride like?
