April Streeter,  (2009), "Today's the Day! Bixi Bike Sharing Debuts in Montreal", Sweden: TreeHugger - Cars & Transportation, Bikeing in Monreal (5.08 mins) & Bixi 300 Stations (1.11 mins)

It seems like it's been a long time coming: in North America, where no bike sharing plan has gotten near the grandeur and style of Paris' Vélib (except perhaps the forthcoming Bcycle), we've been waiting to see exactly how cool Montreal's much-anticipated Bixi will be. And now it's here! C'est parti! With nearly 3,000 bikes and 300 stations, Bixi is just an eighth the size of the Parisian scheme and doesn't currently plan to go year-round. Still, it's a welcome addition to the world-wide bike sharing family.
