I think people can't steal because they have attendants on duty.<br /><br />I witnessed some drinking and driving though. Despite the laws, drivers don't seem to abide.Kristin Tiechehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847043996015177460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-48730310209172624972010-02-12T12:43:34.095-08:002010-02-12T12:43:34.095-08:00Hellooo,

I'm from Rio de Janeiro.<br />They tried to put the same kind of service here but 52 bikes were stollen in a single month. But they think it was an attempt of sabotage, coz before that none of the bikes were stollen, so... brazillian politics...<br /><br />Anyway, about the comment from DUNCAN:<br />- It used to be like that, but the government implanted the politic of "Lei Seca", which means zero tollerance for drinking and driving, you can't have a single sip of alcohol. And they have blitz all the time, everywhere. So that changed a lot.mateodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606647975621629693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-38195323793952197382010-02-11T09:58:22.727-08:002010-02-11T09:58:22.727-08:00@ Duncan - No drive thru bottle shops, but drinkin...@ Duncan - No drive thru bottle shops, but drinking and driving in Brazil is rampant.
