BikeDispenser.com

"Bike Dispenser" created by the Dutch-based design agency has actually been floating around since 2005 in The Netherlands, but it recently won the Spark Design & Architecture Award causing the world to take notice. The idea here is to offer these RFID-tagged bikes to riders in cities supporting bike rental or bike exchange programs. The garages then, would be conveniently scattered around places like train stations and tourist hot-spots to automagically dispense your new ride. This automated system rents a bicycle for € 2.75 ($3.71) per 20 hours. Unfortunately, the Bike Dispenser relies upon a uniform bicycle design leaving it helpless to relieve the crushing mass of "parked" bicycles seen in Amsterdam and like-minded cities across Europe and Asia.

buy up a range of decent quality bikes a selection of 10 or so from jan or some such bike shop and then arrange to deliver and retrieve bikes from whereever i am sure there are 10 people a month who come to london and wish they could hire a bike to do some sight seeing on
