Hi Matt - interesting article. I'm a co-founder and marketing director for weBike so glad to hear you're taking interest in station-less bike sharing!

I wanted to make a correction to your article - you wrote that weBike is tied to fixed docks, which is incorrect. Our system is built so users can rent and return bikes to any bike rack in a community using their phones.

The system profiled in the City Fix article was customized to the specific apartment complex, which wanted their residents to renturn all the bikes to the rack in their garage to protect them from theft and weather. Users had access to the bikes for 24 hours at one time, so they could commute to and from campus. While they had the bike out, they could lock it up to any rack in the community.

We are launching a new system this coming fall with a campus in Pennsylvania, and this system will be a totally de-centralized model - much like SoBi and ViaCycle, where you can lock a bike anywhere.

Happy to provide more insight if you are interested - www.weBikedoyou.com.

Allie.

Thanks again for your interest - hope you have a better pictu
