Is there anything asking users to place the bikes in preferred areas? Having the bikes all over the city is nice, but I can imagine how quickly it could become to find a bike.
@leonhitchens That's the goal! You'll always be minutes away from our bikes. We encourage and enforce (where possible) that people park their bike responsibly, not in the public right of way, and easily accessible for the next rider.

Loved to see this in London 🇬🇧

We had that for years in Berlin, Germany and were very happy with it. Why it's gone? Nobody knows exactly - a common joke is that the former state owned company Deutsche Bahn, not known for good service, has accidentally launched a good product - as they have understood what they have did, they have closed it.

It's pretty much like burning man yellow bike program except the locks. Good luck !
@ted_gives I instantly thought of Spokefly. I enjoyed using them in Austin a handful of times. Any idea what ultimately happened?

@derrickko the service sounds great. Not seeing any bikes in SF in the app. What's the timeline for availability?

Previously, China copies western models and now it is other way around. After huge success of MoBike, Offo and other related bike sharing services in China, the same concept is being applied in other part of world.

Maybe i'm very confused here but whats the difference between this and say Citibike in NY, capital rideshare in DC or even LA Metro bikeshare/Santa Monica? I'm sure there's one in SF too. Is the hope to make it more accessible in non major markets?
