Sharing and Cooperation

Bike Share

Wouldn't it be nice to have access to a bike?  Most days my bike sits locked up in the bike room, not being used.  I suspect the same goes for many other people.  Well what if you could "own" a share in a bike.  Well it woulnd't work if 2 people shared 1 bike, there would be too many "collisions" of desired use.  However if 15 people shared 10 bikes, chances are that whenever one of those 15 people wanted a bike, there would be one available.

I am proposing that 15 people get together, buy 10 bikes from recycle-a-bike and get 10 locks with coded combinations or matched keys.  We rent 10 spaces in the bike room, make a deal with the management compnay to get everyone a key, and then we each pay a small monthly fee for access to the bikes.
