You can’t make this stuff up.
From UPI:
Passengers file lawsuit after Bonnie Tyler Sings during flight.
PARIS, Sept. 3 (UPI) — Passengers on a flight from France to Mauritius have filed suit against Air France after musician Bonnie Tyler performed a song at the request of the co-pilot.
The passengers, believed to be Belgian, complained to the airline after the Welsh singer performed part of her 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart” at the request of the co-pilot, who retired after the flight, The Mail on Sunday reported.
“I was asleep in First Class. The stewardess came and said the co-pilot was retiring. And they asked me would I sing to him. They were having a bit of a party,” Tyler said.
The complaining passengers reportedly claimed they were traumatized by the experience and had feared for their safety during the celebration. The complaint eventually escalated into a legal dispute.
An Air France official said: “The claim against Air France, which it completely rejects, is that the celebrations got more and more unruly and came to a climax when Bonnie sang.
“Air France is saying that any suggestion there was anything more than a few slaps on the back for the co-pilot is nonsense, and it completely rejects the claims that the passengers were at any sort of risk.”

Always good advice. It’s not just about loving or hating change though. This program adds thousands of new vehicles to the city streets, and it actually could be dangerous. Everyone needs to be a part of making it work and staying safe.
Obviously a lot of people like the program – over 25,000 rides this weekend. The other good news is that the CitIBike riders I’ve come across seem much more cautious and courteous right now than experienced riders in the city. But when CitiBike users get comfortable and start skirting around traffic rules, that’s the time I’m worried about. I’ve been hit by a biker going the wrong way, and I tell you, it hurts. I also recently saw a skateboarder get creamed by a biker, both going the RIGHT way, but neither wearing a helmet. Major head injury on the skateboarder.
I don’t advise anyone to stay on the couch. I just want everyone to be AWAKE and AWARE that they aren’t the only vehicles on the streets of NYC. Look all ways, be courteous, and WEAR A HELMET.
Something like this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/113169855/green-bird-like-as-green-angry-bird?ref=sr_gallery_25&ga_search_query=Bike+Helmet+Cover&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=Bike+Helmet+Cover
I was visiting NYC right when the bikes were first put in and did read some negative stuff but my first impression was, “wow- can’t wait till my next trip so I can ride between clients and really see more of the city.” A lot of other cities would love to have this in place – glad some are enjoying it!

Great article! This reminded me of a line i had read long ago.
it read ‘To succeed as a successful entrepreneur you need to think about yourself. Reflect upon your personal attributes.’ (http://blog.linkagoal.com/top-3-steps-to-becoming-a-successful-entrepreneur/)
I personally loved step #4. I think it is the most important of all. A person cannot be successful until & unless he/she doesn’t listen to their customers. I’m really Impressed and super motivated. Thanks a lot!! 🙂

Great lessons Peter. in Costa Rica, a group named Chepecletas started a related enterprise leading guided biking tours throughout the capital city, San José. The name comes from two slang words: Chepe=San José and Cletas=bikes. The business has evolved to the point they are now part of the leading inspiration reviving downtown and get people involved in city life without necessarily disconnecting from the rest of Costa Rica’s beauty.
Last year we highlighted 6 reasons why every entrepreneur should be like Chepecletas. The link is in Spanish (http://gizn.com/blog/el-futuro-es-chepecletas/), so here’s a short summary of three lessons to add to your entrepreneurial and business lessons from Citibike…
1) Energy – on a bike, on foot, any way. Although it all started out promoting bike riding and city-life, it turns out the real vision was much bigger and now evolved to activities by foot, bike, and even train rides. The point was to highlight and enjoy city energy, not limit it only to bikes.
2) Determination – Like your own example of Citibike NYC, they had many hurdles and nay-sayers. But, they’ve kept on and come out stronger at every turn. Knowing what they really wanted and believing in it gave them the strength and supporters to make it through the dip.
3) The team – This was implicit in your article, but for the Chepecletas the right team has been critical. They had a strong starting team which was necessary. More importantly, the right team was also willing to evolve so bike tour participants, users, and clients now also feel like part of the team, and act like it on social networks and at events. This natural and passionate base is the fuel that keeps it going now, it’s the frontline team.
