Architects Envision Future of Bike Sharing in Copenhagen

In order for bike share programs to catch on in cities around the world, there needs to be an effective system in place to make it easy for riders to find and use the bikes. RAFFA Arhictecture & Design has developed a city-wide bike sharing plan for Copenhagen that could increase ridership from 37% up to 50% by 2015. The green transportation system features real-time GPS tracking, an online reservation system, and attractive bikes that can be stored anywhere — even atop lamp posts.

    well, are ideas and drawings from an architect…so what? This is not
    what Copenhagen municipality (and all Denmark) is planning. The drawings
    shows very few bikes, while right now in the same surface there are at
    least five times more bicycles, private bicycles, which are ready to
    use…why should I have to book a bike? ahahah it would be just annoying! Once I own a bike I can go for free anywhere at any time, why should I pay for a bike-sharing and be obligated to park in specific stations?
