Vending goodness

Cities around the world are installing these vending machines. They dispense bicycles. Yep, swipe your card and you can rent a bicycle for a day, tour the city and return it to the nearest machine. The bikes have a RFID tag to prevent theft - for now. I'm sure plans to remove the tag will be online shortly.

Paris, New York and Amsterdam are the latest cities testing out this new idea. Kind of a cool idea if you ask me.

Just be careful when tilting and shaking the machine when your bike gets stuck...
