The complimentary hotel bike wars, because it sounds controversial

Speaking of places to stay on the Bowery ... We keep noticing subtle changes at the newly christened Standard East Village... (Look winterizing!) The former Cooper Square Hotel now offers complimentary bikes to its guests...

(And you can watch a video about it here.)

Down the way, the Bowery Hotel introduced free bikes for guests in April 2009.

Meanwhile, the Whitehouse is apparently no longer offering complimentary grocery carts...

Yeah that's a good idea, euro tourists leisurely riding enormous clunky beach cruisers in the wrong direction up and down Bowery.

lol @ 1:21.
wonder what the policy is for when the bikes get stolen 5 minutes after they are chained up next to the subway.
