City Bike Hire

Melbourne has announced a plan to have a bike hire scheme similar to that in place in Paris. I think this is great. It will give people another option to public transit that is not a car. The prices are reasonable, considering that the first half hour is free. It makes a yearly card a pretty good deal if you take a lot of trips in the CBD.

I hope that this actually gets pulled off. I think that's a great step to the goal here of " the most liveable city."
