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.

Matthew Yglesias » Barcelona Bicycle Policy
Matthew Yglesias » Barcelona Bicycle Policy: "It occurs to me every time I see a bike share service in another city that it would do a lot to extend the utility of these things if there were some kind of reciprocity agreement in place between different bike sharing cities. I’m a SmartBikeDC member, but I rarely use it because like most people inclined to get around town on a bike I own a bike and usually ride that. It’s when I’m not in DC that I really want to use a bike share."
