    So cool! Didn’t expect to see a big array for the first one, but it makes perfect sense. Let’s get the rest rolling!

  2. Rachael says:

    So I don’t understand something here. Do you rent them or are you required to use your credit/debit card to to get one?

  3. Dave Reid says:

    @Rachael. Now this is just a demonstration station, a true bike-sharing system needs multiple stations to make it work, but this one will let you learn about the program… I’ve also added a link to how it works in Madison (same B-cycle system). http://madison.bcycle.com/About/HowItWorks.aspx

    Will Milwaukee bikeshare have the same prices as Madison?

  5. Dave Reid says:

    @Shareef I believe that is still being determined.

  6. Brad B says:

    Awesome! I was hoping they’d do this in Milwaukee. Tons of people use them in Madison it seems.

    The second station is sorely needed at the Internodal Station! I’m taking the train up for Summerfest tomorrow and returning on Sunday. I’d love to hop off the train, grab a bike, ride to the Discovery World station, drop it off, and walk into the festival.

  8. Dave Reid says:

    @Bob Yes! No doubt the Intermodal Station should have a bike-sharing station and one with a lot of bikes at that… Hopefully, next year when the system really rollsout.
