Thumbs up for bike sharing

A visitor checking out the bicycle sharing system at the station in Beach Street, George Town.

I WAS impressed with the bicycle sharing system in Taipei, Taiwan, when I first came across it during my visit there in 2013.

I recall standing in front of a bike sharing kiosk at Xinyi district near Taiwan’s iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper, reading the instructions on the electronic display panel and figuring out how the system works.
