## Resource

Edinburgh’s electric bike-share program is blowing past expectations—500,000 rides in eight months, 1.3 million km traveled (that’s circling Earth 34 times), and 8.4 daily trips per bike—way above the industry average. The city’s transport convener calls it an “overwhelming success,” and expansion to Portobello and Cramond is on the horizon ahead of festival season. This new system is already delivering 2.6x more rides than the old program managed in a full year—Edinburgh’s clearly riding the wave.
