Video of Velib, Paris's Bike Share Program. Can't wait to see this in Salt Lake City.

It has been a year since they launched Velib, Paris's highly successful bike share program and on the 15th StreetFilms launched a very nice video about the program.

Here in Salt Lake City the Mayor's office currently studying the implementation of a similar program. I do hope that it takes off.

Enjoy the video below and if you are in Salt Lake City and like the idea of something like this here, let the Mayor's office know.

There was a good article on this in the the New York Times this week. I remember Boulder had a free program that was similar, but alas the bikes dissapeared quickly. Sounds like they still lose some bikes, but the credit cards allow them to make up for lost fees.

I love it. I, too hope they bring it to Salt Lake.

That was me. Apparently I got logged out between writing and posting.
