Another FT thread I exhumed pointed rightly that Bixi service is more oriented to point to point renting, rather than calm tourist use.
I think it's a great service to citizens, and AFAIK replied in many European cities.
In my case probably would work fine a classic daily rent.
CanadianConnection33, snowing in October? Mmm, quite exciting..
Thanks for the infos, if you spot someone riding dressed in Santa Claus style, it's me!
