Yes, The French "Vélib" (The now famous bike sharing program in Paris) will launch in New York in Summer 2012! Finally!!! That is wonderful! and I am sure I am not alone to think that!
If you want to know more, check the website: www.nycitybikeshare.com. You'll get most of the info from the other programs in U.S. cities (Boston, Washington D.C., Denver, etc.) and it's all very exciting!
Finally if you want to suggest a station (what can be best than to have a bike station near your place or your office?), go here: http://a841-tfpweb.nyc.gov/bikeshare/
I'll keep you updated!
