Mon, 01 Dec 2008 02:02:10 EST Mon, 22 Sep 2008 15:30:00 EDT info@sitebits.com info@sitebits.com The voting process for the name of Montreal's citywide bike rental program is over and the winner is chosen. The system is going to be called "BIXI". <br/><br/> Over the next month, demo bikes will be wheeled around the city and public demonstrations will be held. According to the city's mayor, <a href="http://www.sitebits.com/people/gerald_tremblay.html">Gérald Tremblay</a>, by next spring Montreal will count 2,400 bikes at more than 300 solar-powered stations...

I turn my head every time I hear my native language and I am definitely guilty of buying overpriced Mexican groceries (jalapeños, frijoles, tortillas, etc.) from those little depanneurs on St-Lawrence. (I am not complaining, though, as I would die without my jalapeños!...) <br/><br/> Thus, it didn't take me long to notice a small café called Café Rico, on Rachel street (corner of Boyer).
