Wonderful idea: Bicycles for Rent
This is something I absolutely love!
I think having bicycles for rent around a city is so environmentally-friendly!
If you're in a hurry and would usually take a cab instead, take a bike.
If you're always waiting for the bus (and you know how buses are... they can be late), take a bike instead!
If you're tired from too much walking and have a load of groceries, take a bike.
If you're visiting the town for the first time and are unsure of how to explore it, take a bike.
If the trains aren't working (because of an accident?), take a bike instead.
Information on bicycles for rent.

Alternative Careers
From VanityFair.
How lousy is the news business? Well, two of the Wall Street Journal’s last D.C.-based investigative reporters (one with a Pulitzer) are leaving to open a shop where they’ll carry out investigations for “private clients.” So if you suspect your husband of having an affair with a crooked Pentagon procurements official, you know who to call.
