not sure what a solution would be but as an avid user of cabi who utilizes a bike after work 4-5 times a week in the late afternoon for the sole purpose of just biking around town for pleasure and fitness, i would probably abandon cabi and save up for a good quality bike if a surcharge arises. i enjoy pulling out a bike without having to worry about surcharges adding up. and i hardly ever have a problem during the afternoon rush hour anyway. perhaps its certain racks, but the columbia heights, dupont circle and chinatown racks are almost never short of anything during the afternoon rush hour. if there is a shortage somewhere, i would suggest more effective truck deliveries and for the drivers to concentrate in trouble areas during those peak hours. a rush hour surcharge will certainly make cabi less attractive and complicate the system. i very often find confused out of towners at a bike rack who are trying to figure out how the system works. adding a surcharge would complicate things even further.
