And I Color Too: Bicing Usage Survey Now Live!
And I Color Too: Bicing Usage Survey Now Live!: "As part of my ongoing research in 'green computing' I have been working on a project at Telef�nica Research on improving the Bicing system. As a first step in this direction, we have created a Bicing usage survey. Bicing is a shared biking system in Barcelona, Spain (think of it like a shared car system ala ZipCar). Citizens pay 24 Euros a year for the ability to use bikes parked around the city. There are a few really clever ideas that Bicing employs."
Barcelona bicing survey
Call to All Bicing Users!
We are a small scientific group at Telefónica I+D working on “green computing” research. In one of our projects, we are studying Barcelona’s Bicing system. Our goal is to apply advanced concepts in computer science to improve the Bicing experience, so that, for example the bicycles are better distributed in the city. This project is just beginning and we wanted to involve the most important piece of the Bicing system: its users! Therefore, we have created an online survey to acquire feedback about your experience (positive and negative) with Bicing. The survey will only take about 5-10 minutes to fill out and is completely anonymous.
We look forward to your feedback!

I had another problem with a station (update)
Hello, this evening I tried to return a bicycle to station 91 place 2. I waited for the red light, but instead the station blinked red and green. It was impossible to remove it again. I returned 15 minutes later and tried again, but the light was still blinking red and green. I also tried using my card, but the station told me that I still have a bicycle in use. I hope you can fix this on your side so that I can use bicing tomorrow again. Thanks ChristofUpdate: No response from bicing, but my card is enabled again now.

More on the new bikes
I saw bike #4192 (and #9) today and had a look at the changes. I didn't have my camera with me, so pictures will have to wait.
As I mentioned before: the obsolete lamp holder in the front was removed. The new bikes also have a new gear shifter, which looks a bit more robust. The biggest change is to the front brake, which was replaced by a drum brake. These should be more reliable than the old brake. Drum brakes work better in the rain, don't need as much adjustments and don't have the problem of stolen brake pads.
#4192 got me thinking today: bicing just announced that they have 3000 bicycles in service. Does that mean that 1192 bikes got stolen or broken?
btw: my bicing card worked again today, after reentering my credit card information in the online system. It is the same card, so it is a bit strange.

100000 bicing users
Bicing now has 100000 subscribers, 194 stations and 3000 bicycles. And all in less than a year since the start in March 2007. Here is a video with our mayor with card #100000. The mapabicing blog also has a new map with all the stations
I saw bicycle number 3970 today. This is the highest number I have seen so far and the first bicycle without the original front light holder attached to the basket. I wonder what they come up with next, as the new "temporary" lights aren't really that good either
My card still doesn't work, but I have given them my credit card information again. Lets hope that this will help. No reply to email yet either.

got bitten twice
This time I got bitten by the bicing computer problems too.
At the moment I am not able to use bicing, because the stations tell me that my card is not valid. They recognise it as a card, but not as a valid one. Whatever that means. I send them a email, lets see what happens.
Once I noticed this I checked my bicing account and noticed that they think I used a bike for 3h30m on the 20th. The start time is ok, as I used it to get to work, which takes 10m. For some reason the bicycle thinks I returned it at noon. This probably means paying a penalty unless they admit that this is an error
Well, lets see...
