This is why donating a bike to Noisebridge is a bad idea:  The common
alternate endpoint for our bike sharing system is someone's living room,
which is really hard for the *next* person to get into and get the shared
bike out of.

Is post-scarcity bike economics really over? Was this bike rack crowding at
Noisebridge all just a bicycle bubble?


ps I bet someone had your bike in their living room for the night.
