Who wants B-cycle more?

Apparently, Fort Collins does.

B-cycle is a collaboration between Humana; Trek Bicycle Corp. and Crispin Porter + Bogusky, an advertising and brand management firm headquartered in Miami, to bring about cultural change through an automated bike-sharing program. The program allows users to borrow bikes that reportedly don’t get flat tires, but will track your mileage and calories burned.

B-cycle is looking for a location to pilot the program. On the B-cycle Web site, viewers can vote for their city. So far, the top five cities who want B-cycle most are:
Fort Collins – 186 votes
Boulder – 56 votes
Louisville, Ky. – 45 votes
Glencoe, Ill. – 44 votes
Miami – 30 votes

Select your Republic Services residential cart now!

In preparation for Republic Services becoming the primary provider of residential recycling, yard trimmings, and trash, residents should now select the best cart size and service schedule for their household needs.

I feel it should be noted that Crispin Porter + Bogusky has a Boulder office.

Bike-sharing is not a new concept to Fort Collins. Fort Collins Bike Library lends bikes to anyone – for free – for up to five days. As of Jan. 29, the library has 73 bikes to lend, with 40 checked out as if 11 a.m.
