##KA##NVA whitebikes have had a cracking weekend, and our volunteers at the hub on miller street have been talking to white bike usere there and those out and about visiting venues and exhibitions. we started off friday at the hub with the full complement of 50 bikes lined up, and by the end of the weekend there were a paltry few left – we are delighted to imagine that they have all been out at other venues enjoying what’s on offer.  there have been quite a few sightings reported on twitter too – follow us with #whitebikes

we are asking questions of people on the street who are using white bikes, so here we’re posting some of the first responses.  if you’ve used a white bike too please give us your answers, what other questions you want us to ask, let us know where you are going, where you’ve spotted other bikes both being used and parked up, if you’ve made friends with other white bike riders etc

the first set of questions (and some responses) are listed below.  if there are answers, or questions, you’d like to add please do!

-  are the roads easy to use; did you have any problems with other vehicles?

‘one way system need to be figured out, but drivers were very courteous!’  ‘busy, but ok’

-  did the bikes get any comments through the day?  what?

‘yes!  and it was really amazing to be able to chat with other whitebike users’  ‘a few looks’
