Social Bicycles uses mobile technology to enable affordable, scalable, and intelligent bikesharing networks. Traditional station-based bikeshare requires a network of kiosks and docking stations. This infrastructure takes up a lot of public space and costs over $5,000 / bike. Instead of using 'smart racks', Social Bicycles builds 'smart bikes'. Each bike has an integrated GPS-enabled locking system that you can find and reserve with your mobile phone. Start-up costs are a fraction of existing technology.
