Globe Editors, where are you? Why do you allow your columnists to say things that are patently and demonstrably false. Even in something as benign as this column. Could it be you really are working an agenda?

"All across the world, bike rental systems in our cities is highly efficient and cheap."

That's just not true. In fact we have seen time and again that, at the very least, urban North American bike rental systems have required massive influxes of public money to get off that ground AND for continuing operation. 

To suggest otherwise or to allow this "observation" to stand in the column is to promote a political and social agenda, "the war of cars", with complete falsehoods.
