    Imagine you can rent bike at train station and put them back at the train station. In Luxembourg we can rent bike for 19€ a year.

      Yeah but that one day when the bike rack is empty except the one with a flat tire haunts you the whole year though.

      It is a good thing for occasional use IMO, if I go to work every day I prefer the “safety” of having my own bike (I’m 198 too :-)

      And as long as everything you need fits in a backpack that works great. And most people still but a car for the cases where it doesn’t work, and if you have a car anyway, why not use it more.

      But those bikes in docks and the scooters do work great.

          Depends on the cargo.

          Doubt many train passengers would like it if people delay the train because they have so much cargo they need to unload and bring to their rented car.

            True, maybe it is time to rethink things completely. Some time ago the SNCF was doing some wagon dropping. Letting a wagon with fret in some stations
