It probably would be, but it's not that simple, many of them probably lack a safe place to store a bike overnight, as well as lacking the ability/time/money to maintain one on a regular basis.
Still, it is such a small number, I have to wonder how valuable it really is.
For less than the price of a membership anyone can get a bike from Recycle Cycles. I think the Working Center should focus on that, mothball CAB and use those resources elsewhere and the region can look into whether or not a SoBi system would work here.
As for the parking in bike lanes in Uptown. I'd fly off the handle if I had to bike past that but the design, as it currently exists, looks like Downtown so I can see why people think it's parking. If I didn't read this forum I wouldn't know that is a (future) bike lane.
