no i would not advocate getting rid of those things, but my concern is that by only having these bike-share systems availbale to users for half the year, people will come to view them strictly as summertime recreation instruments like outdoor pools, baseball diamonds, beaches, and patios instead of potentially viable and important pieces of the transportation networks in our cities.
