I don't know if there's really a market for something like this in Hamilton but I hope it works out. I think the biggest problem in Hamilton could be damage, graffiti and theft at the bike depots. They're unsupervised, self serve.
I played w/ a Bixi in TO recently and LOVE THEM!
Love the lil 'baskets', the flashing lights, the bell.. etc. I don't like how corporately whored out they are tho! I'm riding a BIXI bike, NOT a Telus bike!
I REALLY hope it catches on here.
