Damn, way to be condescending! Please read again--I never said cars are litter. I didn't even say cars are littering the streets. I said that a faction believes bikeshare bikes litter the streets, and implied that this vandalism might have arisen from that belief.

With regards to cars and bikes, I firmly believe that if the city evaluated car access the way they're evaluating bikeshare today that we'd never let cars in the city. They're way too expensive (roads, police, hospitals), damaging to health and the environment, and unsafe. Even if we did let cars in the city, we'd never let the 430K+ cars that we have now. I find this comparison of bikeshare bikes and cars ironic.

But good for you--you're a daily bike commuter. So am I. And I own and pay taxes on three cars. So please take your lecture elsewhere.
