Does your city have a bike share program?

We have a hubway program in Boston that you can pick up a bike at certain locations and drop it off at your destination. I am absolutely loving that I have cut down my commute by 15 minutes and can get some cardio in before work, to boot! There is even an iPhone app where you can see if there are bikes available at your location and whether or not there are rack spaces left at your destination. My commute has gotten a major makeover! Rides under 30 minutes are free.
Unfortunately, winter is coming (although the weather says otherwise), so they will be putting away the bikes next week. My solution is to find a cheapo bike of craigslist and leave it in the city so that I have a means of getting back to work other than two trains and an bus.
Does anybody else live in a city that offers this? I have really loved this and it makes going to work fun.
Here is the local program:

We have it in Brisbane, but it's really unpopular and I don't know why - similar situation, and they're starting to put more locations a bit further out of the CBD. If I worked in the city, I'd use it!

Montreal has the Bixi program. But the bikes get put away in the winter. Cycling on ice is not a good idea.0
