Usage Statistics
The sharply increased rate after 2 hours of continued use ensures each individual bike is used between 10 and 15 times a day by different people. More than 95% of the rides are shorter than 30 minutes. When a bicycle is returned it is necessary to wait 10 minutes before taking another one, again for free. Although there are over 90,000 registered users as of September 2007 only 1/3 of them are using the system on a regular basis. So far the network extends through Ciutat Vella, Eixample and some parts of Sant Martí and Gràcia. As of November 2007 the system had been used more than 2,750,000 times, representing 8,000,000 km of travel.

Famous quotes containing the words usage and/or statistics:
“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)
