Developed for Copenhagen, the “Bicyclus” by Italian designer Stefano Marchetto is a socially sustainable bike sharing system that reuses 8000 bikes abandoned every year from the city. Featuring modular bikes and stations, the bike sharing system can be expanded with minimum fuss, allowing easy accessibility to the residents. Users can choose their favorite bike to enhance their riding experience. The bikes also include resistive touchscreen that other than providing all the important information of the city also lets you interact with other bikers. Running on solar power harnessed by solar powered charging stations with eight solar cells to be stored in ultra capacitor placed underneath the cells, the Bicyclus also includes an electronic lock to keep it safe and intact.
