I'm sorry, but that's a MASSIVE overstatement.

I kindly ask you to grab one of those bikes and do a few miles on the Burke. It's beautiful out, really hope you enjoy it.

I commute regularly on the Burke, it's wonderful. Cars are so much more of an issue on my commute. More bikes please!

I bike commute 6 miles each way 4-5 days a week, about 1/2 on the Burke and other paths. That is where my comment comes from. (A day late to amend, I suppose)

Especially around UW, there are ALWAYS rental bikes in the way. Not always dangerously so, but adding to congestion.

I am trying hard not to be too old-man-crotchety about this, but the part where the business model of these companies depends on storing assets on the public right of way ... grinds my gears.
