The riders get to keep their bikes for a max of three weeks, then they’re asked to exchange them with new riders. Up until 7 September 2007, that is, when anyone in possession of a Vancity groovy chrome steed is requested to return it, so it can be passed to <A href="http://www.pedalpower.org/">PEDAL</A> (Pedal Energy Development Alternatives), a local non-profit, that will in turn donate them to individuals in low-income communities. The credit union has a website (www.changeeverything.ca) to capture community feedback and their branches are acting as drop-off locations should any bikes need a tune-up. Not quite the grand scale of bike sharing ventures in Barcelona, London, Lyon or Paris (see recap <A href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/05/barcelona_has_g.php">here</A>), but still highly commendable.  <A href="http://www.changeeverything.ca/vancity_bike_share">::Vancity Bike Share</A>, via <A href="http://www.springwise.com/transportation/banksponsored_bike_sharing/">Springwise</A>.
