Trib Review: Pittsburgh Increasingly Bike Friendly
Today's article carried lots of good info about measures of increased bicycle riding around the city, and also some specific info I was glad to see.
Golden Triangle Bike Rental has opened another location, and that makes me happy. This was a scrappy start-up that invested in Pittsburgh bicycling before the Burgh embraced Bikes, and just as they were about to break through, they faced a major challenge when Coca-Cola spent $65,000 on a marketing program providing a fleet of free daily bicycles for public use.
Is that generally a good thing? Almost always. When is that a bad thing? When you've bet your savings on a bike rental business, and Coke starts giving your product away for free as a gimmick. It seems like the Dasani Blue Bikes campaign was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the business closed. I think Golden Triangle got a tough deal on that, and I'm pleased to see the new owners are expanding.
