the word is spreading on this Paris bike rental program

the word is out on this Paris Bike Rental program
saw this article reprinted in a florida paper

I wonder if the spreading of this word will carry over to a spreading of ideas

too many cars with one person traveling in that car
there are too many adjustments made to facilitate car traffic

thoughts like HOV... when did two people in a car that seats four become HOV?
