I have great and exciting news! The Montreal Bike Share BIXI (BIcycle TaXI), which will be launched this spring, has made a generous donation to CYCLE Kids on my behalf for the Boston Marathon.

As many of you know, I have been very involved in the conversation about bringing European-style bike sharing to the U.S. and have been working closely with the folks at BIXI. When Boston issues a Request for Proposals for a city-wide bike sharing program, we will be partnering together on this great project.   If you go to Montreal, try it out.  The bikes are awesome, and it is such a great way to see a city, as we found out in Paris.

We went to Paris in December 2007 and had a great time on the Paris Velib bike share. Boston next?

Thank you, Alain and Michel, at Bixi.  Please share this cool news with anyone in the bike community you know, or anyone else who might be interested!
