This concept, I have to admit, is not new to me. I saw it before we left Munich. Nonetheless, at that time I was also very impressed with it - and the feeling has certainly not diminished over time. So I snapped a photo for you all to take a look - check out "Dial A Bike," offered to you by the Deutsche Bahn (German Rail). Very easy concept - if you run across one of these bikes, you can simply dial the number on the bike, get some kind of password code, which you then enter on the bike, then it's yours for a rental fee. I guess you can leave them almost anywhere and there must be some sort of GPS tracker on them so DB can figure out where they are after you sign out...
Pretty cool. Also really nice are the foldable bikes I see everywhere. They're super light and you can carry them by a handle with you fairly easily. No photo available, but if I see one soon, i'll show you.

One of the people in my car pool has a foldable bike. She rides it over to the lot where we meet. She said a friend of hers was visiting Deutchland and his folding bike had not arrived so he bought one in the Walmart in Frankfurt.
hmm... cant imagine writing Deutschland without the central S is a mistake both of u made... so i guess its a new trend? Morever: when do u say "Nonetheless" instead of "Nevertheless" ?
Ok. I fixed the "S" in Deutschland! :-P No new trend, just a SPELLING mistake.
Re: Nonetheless vs. Nevertheless - I'm not sure if there is a rule for when to use one vs. the other. Will check...but nonetheless *is* a word.
