From Paris to DublinSpent most of last week travelling. Had a fabulous dinner last Tuesday in Paris (foie gras, cote de boeuf) followed by a workshop, then a day in Dublin on Friday reporting back on some market research findings. (haddock and chips for lunch, by the way)
Was very impressed by the Paris bike rental scheme, whereby you can pick up a bike at the metro station and deposit it at any other parking station in the city. According to the Parisians I've spoken to, its been a massive success.
Would love to see a scheme like this in London. Am sure it would be a big hit. Come on Boris, time to make your mark.

Unfortunately in London, it would just mean Chavs riding round on more stolen bikes.
Now, now James if Paris can make it work, so can London!
And we have it in Barcelona too. It is called Bicing. I could not live without it. I was actually thinking of 'offering' myself up as an 'advisor' to Boris if he is thinking of implementing something similar. I've see it fail in Copenhagen but succeed in Barelona and think it know why!!
