The system, less than a year old, is funded by christania’s municipal government. It is currently only in one of christania’s 22 administrative districts. Although a 2nd generation system, there are 12 “Houses” in this district, each with around 40 bikes. The yearly subscription cost is the equivalent of $2 US, and allows the use of a bike for up to four hours at a time. In less than a year, there have been 6,000 subscriptions sold. There are larger 3rd generation systems in the world, which do not have a subscription to bike ratio as big as that.Falcon Embroideryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303720115296750883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492042952583877584.post-12943706955668692017-08-27T00:37:02.536-05:002017-08-27T00:37:02.536-05:00Wow, thanks for sharing.

Since I grew up in the Golden Triangle area (not too many outside of it know it, sort of like Dowling), in retrospect it seems like that sort of 'local boy done good' story you see on the news so much.PDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492042952583877584.post-64187451023238688262017-03-07T18:44:34.971-06:002017-03-07T18:44:34.971-06:00Retired from here in 2006 after serving 24 years a...Retired from here in 2006 after serving 24 years as a shift supervisor and Autopsy Instructor, Saw the new building today 3/7/17 as I went to pickup remains, my heart sank as I saw the new building, I put in many years of overtime and hard work just to see the past go before my eyes.
