There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

De-hitching bike sharing from the kiosk-based models, Georgia Tech's viaCycle offers a high quality bike sharing system at one-third of the cost. "Being mechanical engineers, we thought there had to be a better way," says Tech alum and viaCycle CEO Kyle Azevedo. "And we set out to design the world's first GPS-enabled, stationless bike-share system." The start-up has plans to expand to Google's campus in Mountain View, CA, and San Francisco's SoMa district.
