The Bike-sharing Blog: Paris' Woes of Theft and Vandalism

The Bike-sharing Blog: Paris' Woes of Theft and Vandalism: "In a year and a half of operation, 7,800 bicycles have disappeared from Paris’ highly successful bike-sharing program as reported by LeParisien. On top of that, another 11,600 have been vandalized. To cope with this grave problem, 500 mechanics work on 1,500 bicycles each day to keep the system running." Paris seems to have the same problem with vandalism as in Barcelona. And I bet they get the same complains about the service too. Every city gets the bike sharing service it deserves.
