The annual pass was purchased for me as a birthday present and I must say that I love my BIXI! I ride it everywhere and it gets me home all the time seeing as the Metro stops so darn early. These bikes absolutely suck going uphill (3 gears?!? Come on!) but they are tanks: potholes, bumps and construction on Laurier ain't got nothing on a BIXI. Cars seem to steer very clear of me and I love slamming my bike into the docking station after a long day, it gets some of that pent up frustration out. I shed a tear as I saw a bunch of stations being taken apart this morning :( Winter *le sigh*
