Are you ready to hit the race track with a funky aluminum bike? With the rising fuel prices, Montreal has come up with the solar powered docking system and a high tech RFID tagged aluminum bikes that are turned into complete theft disaster. There are six bikes and six docks in each station. Users can take any available bike and then return it back to any other dock. The payment can be made via Credit or Debit Cards or any other member cards. But one thing that stuck in my mind is what if there is no dock station available for a drop off?

Hi, this concept is allready used in Paris and Lyon(FRANCE)and other cities in France. We call it Velib’ or Velov depending if we are in Paris or Lyon. An answer to your question: when there is no dock available, you have an extra time, free of charge, in order to find another dock around. Anyway, it’s a good news for all of us and the climate to see this concept choosen by cities in the world. Salut!
Already exists in Paris (France). It’s called Vélib’. Not solar powered ‘though!
That system is present in barcelona too, we call it bicing
