18 Observations After Trying St. Louis' Bike Share for the First Time

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Chris Ward, DJ for KDHX's loudQUIETloudprogram, which airs Monday nights at 11 p.m., recently took one of the city's brand spankin' new ride-sharing bikes for a ride, noting his observations along the way. 

An RFT reader, he allowed us to publish these thoughts, which you can read in their only lightly edited glory below:

* "Who even am I now" crossed my mind the first ten minutes, and again as I was eating my yogurt in the park.It plays a little song when you unlock it and it makes me very happy.

* I don't know if the mood towards them will change, but on the first sunny day everyone wanted to stop and ask questions and I haven't seen people this social and happy since Pokemon Go came out. It was quite nice.

* It's fun to ring your little bell at people. It is almost impossible for people not to smile or laugh when you ring that thing. I felt like a little French gentleman.
