An interesting suggestion, Michael. The SoBi system which has a small pilot in NYC and will roll out a bigger implementation at Indiana University soon takes your idea one step further and eliminates the stations altogether. Each bike has its own minicomputer on it and can be locked to any regular bike rack.

I was initially skeptical of this idea, but I met the founder and saw a presentation of their newest hardware and software versions recently in NYC and was impressed with the modifications they've made. I'll definitely be following how it goes at IU.
