My husband and I used the B-Cycle bike share for 24 hours while visiting downtown Denver this past fall. That was two days of not renting a car and not taking up any parking spaces. The kiosks, BTW, where well away from parking spaces and set in plazas and public spaces. This is just another example of wanting change but not being willing to be a part of change.
