It's not every day that you can stroll down a Chicago sidewalk and think you've been magically zapped to Paris.
But I was cruising down Ohio Street Thursday when — zut alors! There was a row of rental-bike docks that looked a lot like Paris' famous Velib' stations.
Half a dozen guys were fiddling with the machines, making sure
everything would work on Friday when Chicago debuts its first city
bike-share program.
There are only 100 bikes and only six locations, but if this experiment works, bike-sharing could become a Chicago way of life.
To find out more, I called Josh Squire. He's the founder of Bike and Roll, which is managing the program.
