Street Bicycling might be laced with electric motors, be sure to only take what is prescribed by a real doctor.

I'm calling it a financial/political scam.

Bike share company makes a few "donations" to some political campaigns and perhaps a public works project contracted out to a construction company owned by MP's brother and next thing you know bike share rides are on the list of therapies available under socialized medicine.

This might not be the case but its naive to think that this kind of thing doesn't happen all the time. Somebody, somewhere, is hoping to make lots of money off this.

On the other hand, if you're going to make "lot of money", then I can't think of a better more healthier, and environmentally sensitive way to do it. From that perspective, you might want to give these guys a round of applause.
