The Gold Coast can look to other coastal areas and port cities to get its own implementation of bike sharing refined to work for the city.
The advantage of coming very late to bike sharing schemes? The city can look at low occupancy in some schemes and ensure high usage.
Modal integration points like bike parking facilities at train and light rail stations and easy payment/headgear rental at public bikesharing stations are a start.
Kaohsiung, an industrial port city with some of the worst air in Asia is one example of bike sharing in a linear city. The city can be well served with sharing stations from Surfers Paradise to The Spit / Runaway Bay to Surfers Paradise, to Broadbeach West to Carrara, and South along the coast.
