that's all fine and good, but if it can't fill those gaps for 42% of the year, then we'll still have holes in our dense neighborhoods that won't be cohesive for almost half the year.

i like these bike sharing systems in concept, but the fact that they shut down for 5 months of the year is incredibly weak.
