- Definition any fully automated network of bicycles available for individuals to rent on a short term basis as a means of short distance transportation in urban areas Reference "Vlastos T., Vassi A. 'A Review And Critical Assessment Of Cycling Infrastructures Across Europe' in WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment , The Sustainable City IX (vol. 191), 2014 http://www.witpress.com/elibrary/wit-transactions-on-ecology-and-the-environment/191/29555"
- Comment This system allows a cyclist to hire and collect a bicycle from one docking station and then return it at another docking station.The central concept of these systems is to provide free or affordable access to bicycles for short-distance trips in an urban area as an alternative to motorised public transport or private vehicles, thereby reducing traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution.In most cities where such a system exists, people seeking a bicycle for casual riding over several hours or days are better served by bicycle rental than by bike-share.
