Spain: The Blog: One Year On!

Spain: The Blog: One Year On!: "I've written a bit about Bicing, which also celebrated it's first year anniversary recently. Well, today's El Pa�s newspaper ran an article about the service's increasing growing pains: El Bicing genera 600 reclamaciones diarias por mal funcionamiento. (Bicing receives 600 complaints a day about technical problems.)" The article has more statistics and information about bicing.

El Bicing es queda curt en zones elevades i es col.lapsa al centre | El Peri�dico de Catalunya | Barcelona

El Bicing es queda curt en zones elevades i es col.lapsa al centre | El Peri�dico de Catalunya | Barcelona: "El Bicing es queda curt en zones elevades i es col.lapsa al centre 1. • Molts usuaris nom�s agafen les bicis de baixada i buiden les parades de Gr�cia, les Corts i l'Eixample 2. • L'aflu�ncia massiva a les �rees d'oci nocturn i les platges dificulta les entregues a Ciutat Vella"

kalebeul : Fuck Bicing

kalebeul : Fuck Bicing: "Being Barcelona Council’s corporativist scheme to marginalise private bike ownership and bike shops"

Trevor complains -- as he does.

I have two bicycles besides using bicing. And with the experience I have with local bicycle shops in Barcelona, I wouldn't mind them marginalised a bit.

Now I'll swing my 'corporativist' behind onto a bicing bike and enjoy the ride -- as I do

And I Color Too: Bicing Usage Survey Now Live!

Jon about bicing and his survey:
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

jonfroehlich asked me to post this links to a survey regarding bicing. I am sure a lot of people want to leave their comments:
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!
