If you go to Paris, you will see self-service bicycles that can be rented located in strategic places along the roads. These bicycles (also known as Vélib) can be automatically unlocked from racks (cutting down on labour cost to oversee the bicycles) and used for up to 30 minutes at a time.
Since being introduced in the French capital, the Vélib (short for free or freedom-bikes in French) project has surprised cynics with its popularity.
For each half-hour cycling, the user is charged only one euro fee. Statistics show that each bicycle has been used six times on average in a day.
Maybe this will help you come up with your next genious idea.
