Speedy Keep Absurd nomination as sources are quite easy to find, e.g. Citibank Pays to Put Name on Shared Bikes. The scheme seems very similar to London's Barclays Cycle Hire and for a major city like this, notability is certain. Warden (talk) 18:02, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Topic is surely notable enough for the paragraphs that have long stood in Bicycle sharing system and Cycling in New York City. 3rd party news coverage is ample. The question that remains is whether the material in those articles should be consolidated here, or consolidated in one of those and this article should redirect there.
