    This sounds like a great idea for urban bike sharing, a concept that has been discussed on Victoria and Vancouver blogs, too. The problem is always keeping track of the bikes, making sure they're in good shape, and that they're returned. This design by Continuum (the Ubicycle public bicycle service system) addresses most of those problems: the RFIDs allow the service provider to keep track of the bikes as well as the users; and with buy-in from the users via their regular transit cards, this should help ensure that the bikes are treated reasonably well. Vandalism is a separate issue, which requires push-back from the community as a whole.
