I personally love being afforded the mandatory opportunity to shell out $35-$50/night for access to a hotel's fleet of two bicycles (plus FREE Wi-Fi!). Which I thought was quite funny when I first experienced it at the Blue Moon on South Beach; then I checked into the Coronado Resort recently where it wasn't a fleet of two bicycles, but rather up to TWO HOURS of free bicycle access (then something like $50/hour thereafter should you actually sit down to lunch somewhere or anything exotic like that - times two if not traveling alone)!

Resident trolls gonna troll, but no rational human being sees this sort of money grab for anything other than what it so plainly is. And whether or not it stands any real chance of success in the court system, just the effort alone serves a worthy cause...
