The Common Bike - Part 2

More details have just come through on the age's website so I thought I best update. The Common Bike trial runs for three weeks from today. You can join at commonbike.com or six bike hubs around the city at Rentabike (Federation Square), Abbotsford Cycles and Lentil as Anything (Abbotsford), Crumpler (Fitzroy), Commuter Cycles (Brunswick) and Human Powered Cycles (Thornbury). Apparently you have to be over 18 to register though.
Registration is $5 and members pay $1 per trip, with an additional dollar charged after three hours and every hour thereafter. Bikes come with a lock and helmet and can be returned at any of the hubs. At the end of the trial the bike sharing scheme will be assessed at a forum on June 15 at Docklands.
