    It is important to demonstrate the quality and nature of the facility before the really cold weather comes to stay. Kites can begin to be flown right away and that can be the “Announcement” that something is coming.

    Free Rides is a good name if a little deceptive.

    Maybe “No Free Rides” and the food can be “No Free Lunch”

    The cycle as art is a good idea. The neighborhood bike coalition in Philly had a good one a few years ago.

    From Steve:

    “FREEBIKE” STICKERS

    Tiny dots and narrow strips with text. Light capturing and projecting material on highly adhesive waterproof tape. Special “Hotspot” applicator.

    On every part of a bike that is part of the system. Spokes and rims of wheels, seat-posts, handlebars, bells and lights, frames and pedals.

    Text explains that this is not private property but belongs to all of the users of the vehicles and cannot be taken out of NYC metropolitan area, or disassembled or kept for personal use. “This vehicle will be picked up for regular maintenance at any time, and have its lock removed if it is not a proper lock” in different languages.

    Buried RFID chips aid in location and identification.

    Must be artful, colorful and un-removable.
    High visibility, reflectivity etc. add to safety factor.
