The Victorian state capital of Melbourne will, from 5 May 2009, have a three week trial with 30 bikes being made available from five locations around the city. Called Common Bike, it is being organised by industrial design students from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) under the tutelage of visitung lecturer Ronald Haverman, who helped establish a similar not-for-profit scheme in the Netherlands. Known as OV-fiets, it now apparently services 60,000 members out of 180 rail stations.
