MoBikeFed comment: As more and more U.S. cities move forward with Bike Share systems--as Detroit is now doing--St. Louis is standing out more and more as very close to the last major midwestern city to lack bike share.

Many in St. Louis have been working towards making Bike Share in the city a reality. Is now the time to move forward?
