From Dan Freeman:

Just came back from a recent trip to Montreal, where I used Bixi almost exclusively to get around. Was a lot of fun and incredibly easy  to use – even in the sweltering heat.

I thought you might enjoy this picture of a surprising use of  Montreal’s public bikes: as outdoor gym!

Just outside the Place d’Armes Metro station (next to Chinatown and the  newly renovated Convention Centre) I came across this group of seniors  pedaling away on the bicycles parked at the docking station!

Why not? Chock it up to another public health benefit of public bicycle systems.
