I’m helping to document the installation of the stations for the new Fort Worth Bike Sharing system. It launches on the 22nd and they’re installing two stations per day. The first in my ‘hood went in this morning, as seen above.

I can’t believe we’re actually getting a bike sharing system, but it’s for real. The debut system will feature 28 stations across the central core of the city, and 300 bikes. I’ve already bought an annual membership.

My mom came into possession of this random old e-bike and she gave it to me for Christmas. I have no idea of its source or history. It weighs about 17,000,000 pounds and needs a lot of bolts tightened but the motor works well. It should be fun to play around with.
