Bicycles?

Do you know any project about free bicycles with the idea of FREE?
Here in Argentina will be interesting the idea of car and bicycles, ,,,,,

Yes. In the city where I live, Trondheim, the municipality is making
available free bikes in the city center for everyone to use. They are
simple and have a very noticable, unique design, so they are not stolen.
You are not allowed to take them outside the city center, though. This has
been going on for a few years and has been a moderate success.

I saw them on the tv (in england) last night... :-)

The last time I saw this tried myself was in the early 70s, in Cambridge:
people simply came up from London with lorries, loaded the bicycles into
the back of the lorries, and they were never seen again. Nice to see
civilization has progressed a little, in spite of everything else :-)
(or maybe it's just that bikes, especially unfashionable ones, are no 
longer easily saleable...)
