bikeshare

Urban rental wheels

Bikeshare is a system where bicycles are available for short-term rental, typically from automated stations throughout a city.

Users pick up a bike at one location and return it to any station in the network: I used bikeshare to get to the meeting.

Also called bike-sharing or bike share.
