Rough notes

Adam Cooper - masters student studying a bike share program in UBC. Also works for TransLink in the cycling division

Universities resistent to advertising, suggestion to get bike shops to sponsor, provide bikes, or a guerilla program for people to provide & repair old bikes

Tying it into the student card means another layer of administration for the school: expensive

Roland: no baby steps! If New York can do it quickly, so can Vancouver. Ban the kamikazes.

Whitehorse bus driver - cycling in lanes is a safety issue: bus drivers have to be concerned about their passengers and traffic, and wild moves by bikers lead to sudden turns on busses - cyclist education, wider lanes (he says that Vancouver bus lanes are barely wide enough for buses)

Incentives for using the system: chance to win tuition, smaller prizes like bike gear, Canucks tickets, points that you can redeem

Capital costs: true public system 110 bikes, (UBC would be 200) - $1,000 per bike station + $500 per bike, full time project manager position, $500,000 capital cost

Already existing bike co-op

Dalhousie: campuses are 4-5 blocks apart, separated by houses, shops.

Adam: Purple & yellow bikes

Central Valley Greenway
