Lausanne is built on a rather large hill. I imagine all the bikes drift to
the bottom, so some kind of rebalancing is required. I imagine that isn't
so much a problem in London or Paris ...

In Paris it's certainly a problem at Montmartre, where bikes have to be
taken by truck back to the top of the hill.

I don't know, but I have been to Arran, and it's very hilly!

My ex boyfriend's auntie lives on Arran, and she drives a Landrover because she needs one. Having been there, I think she's one of the only people within the British Isles who has one and does need it!
