Don't get me wrong: I am not about to give up my own beloved bicycle when bike share rolls into town. (Her name is Helena, she belonged to my grandmother, and she is the best.) But bike owners have plenty of reasons to be excited about bike share: it will be perfect for one-way trips, it will allow us to ride with our friends and visitors who do not own bikes, and an influx of new riders should help speed up implementation of new bike lanes throughout the city, which make the streets safer for everyone.
