Should we have an integrated bike sharing system?

Discussion

After the recent announcement of contactless payment trials, I was wondering if people think it would be a good idea to have an integrated bike sharing system? It would use the myki / contactless myki and credit cards. I know we had the RACV public private partnership but I don't remember if it they used myki to access them or an app or something similar.

Of course this would work best when we build more cycling infrastructure but I think this could reduce some friction in people trying out cycling. Perhaps they would just see it as an extension of public transit? Also controversial but repeal bike helmet laws and bring traffic calmed 30km streets to make cycling safer. No city where there is a large ridership of bikes has mandatory helmet laws.

Also I'm not qualified enough to know if my reasoning is right but I do hope someone more knowledgeable than me will correct me if I am.
