Bike sharing systems can feel wear and tear. The stations in Paris are generally (of the 20 or so I saw this weekend) in good condition but some of the bikes are missing parts (one was missing its chani). I wish Montreal the best... while in Paris I had to explain to many tourists how it worked and it has saved many people from expensive taxi fees when they miss the last Metro.
