Bike share has SO many benefits. It acts as traffic calming and increases pedestrian use of the road space. It lets people who are unsure about biking dip their feet, or test ride an e-bike. Maybe you bikeshare one way, get tired, and take transit home.

This doesn't even get into all the benefits something like cargo bike share would have (Netherlands 🤤). Or the fact that Ljubljana bike share is free for the first hour you ride. That a Montreal bike share membership is $20 CAD per month or $99 for 7 months.

Bike share bikes almost always have fenders, integrated lights, a stepthrough frame, and a comfortable upright riding position with adjustable seat height. Most have some kind of basket as well. Some even have helmets (Vancouver).
