Following European cities and Washington DC, Pittsburgh is in the early stages of exploring a bike sharing program. Bike PGH is leading the exploratory effort. Scott Bricker, the founder of Bike PGH, stated, "We're just learning about it. We like what we see in other cities around the world. We're just trying to build excitement here." Bricker has scheduled B-Cycle, a bike sharing company, to visit Pittsburgh in April for initial discussion.
In our ever-evolving world of consumption, we are learning that what really matters is the experience that a product delivers, not the ownership of that product. As Theodore Levitt said, "People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole."
Access Trumps Ownership, inspired by a quote from Kevin Kelly, delivers news and opinions on the emerging market of collaborative consumption, the access economy, and the shared economy.
