White Bike of Amsterdam

[Steven Maas (CUTR)]

Here in Tampa, FL there is an "Orangecycle" program in the works, slated
to be in operation by New Year's Day.  In addition to Portland, OR
(already memtioned), I believe that Seattle has a yellow bike program and
that Denver has a slightly different type of program where companies
sponsor individual bikes which in turn advertise the company, or something
like that.
