Ian Lamont writes "Montreal is preparing to launch a Web- and RFID-enbaled public bike system that allows residents and visitors to rent bicycles at special depots scattered throughout the city. Using a website, riders can check out a real-time inventory of available bicycles at certain locations. At the depots, a solar-powered base station will process credit cards or member cards. The bike docks use RFID, and the system is supposedly easy to install and maintain. The pilot will launch in September with four bike depots."
