Bike Share in Waterloo Region

[PhilippAchtel]

So Dropbike has launched, though a bit quietly; perhaps because there's not a huge number of bikes available yet. Their hub areas, called 'havens', are also sparse just now; the ones I could find are the Kitchener Market, Queen Ion, and Waterloo city hall. Presumably more are to come.

There's also a defined usage boundary, but that's quite generous; it includes most of central Kitchener and Waterloo from just shy of the Parkway, up to Northfield.

I actually found their boundary extremely restrictive. It doesn't even include all their havens--the one at the Aud is outside it.

I feel the same. I was excited about using the service to commute, but the boundary makes that impossible.
