Well I think mid-late August is getting pretty close to the start of spring (gives time to iron out any teething problems before the onslaught of users too).

Each bike comes with an adjustable helmet attached to the lock. These are regularly sanitised. Or bring your own if you’re squeamish I guess.

I’m just back from 5 days in Melbourne, where the bike scheme appears to be an abject failure. Also noticed on a visit to Brisbane in June very poor usage. Compare and contrast to cities such as Dublin, which although suffering from worse weather, have higher uptake.

How are they handling the helmet requirement?
