The ultimate example of bicycle art, without bicycles. The easily foreseeable disaster of our bike sharing program has left a few abandoned stations and a hole of 130,000 Euro in our city's balance sheet.

It seems there have been some places where bike sharing has worked. I wonder why it did not work in your city. I always thought it would be way too easy for people to simply steal the bikes.
That weird. And here in our car-centered city our Capital Bike sharing program is expanding.
Bike shares seem to work here.
I wonder why bike sharing has failed in Livorno when it has been a rousing success elsewhere.
Too bad it didn't work. Lots of money down the drain.
Sad. There were problems here but it seems to up and running again here.
Over here in DC metro area, it keeps on growing.
Ouch! That's a lot of money.
Sad photo of failed bike sharing station. Bicycles are such a great way to get around with a long list of benefits for both community and individuals. But the program can have obvious difficulties. The city will not go bankrupt over the failure of this program.
What a shame. Sorry it didn't work....
That is a big shame. It seems like there might have been some mismanagement involved.
A shame... here it works...
wxhat a shame !
Sounds like "share" is a foreign word in Livorno. ;)
