Some European cities have a bike-sharing program, where public-owned bikes are used by commuters to get around the city. Commuters can hire a bike from a bike station in their neighborhood for a very low fare, and ride it to another bike station and drop it off there. This program has been very popular in several cities and reduced road traffic tremendously. It has also made cycling much more popular among commuters; it is no longer seen as just an option for the poor.

Minneapolis has started a similar program and Fargo should try it out too. Even though we are a much smaller city, we can benefit from a bike sharing program, especially to connect neighbourhoods that are not adequetely served by bus. Such a system could compliment other forms of transit.
