Companion Links for EDAW Creative Review

Bike-Sharing Blog
The go-to site for a comprehensive list of existing or proposed bike sharing projects and the latest breaking news.

Official Vélib' Website (English)
Probably the best place to find out how the system works from the perspective of a new user. Be warned that translations are missing in places and, for unexplained reasons, portions of the site "disappear" for hours periodically. (I suspect that they are having to throttle access during heavy visitor loads.)

Tulsa Townies
A good example of small bike sharing program using off-the-shelf bikes and kiosks.

Call-a-Bike
Like the official site, here is where first-time customers can get to know how the Deutsche Bahn bike sharing system works. An English summary is available.

"Vélib' Cycles in Paris" YouTube Video
This 10-minute video was made shortly after the Velib system opened in July 2007. It is a bit chatty, but is nonetheless a good introduction, not only to how the system works but also to some of the thinking that went into its design.
