Oxford Test Drives Peer-to-Peer Bike Sharing
A new platform, Cycle.land, connects people with local bikes for short-term rentals.
“The Airbnb for bikes” is one way to describe Cycle.land, the peer-to-peer bike-sharing service that recently launched in Oxford. “Inevitable” might be another way.
In founding Cycle.land, Agne Milukaite wanted to create a bike-share service that rivaled the innovation put forward by car-tech mashups such as Drivy, Uber, and Tesla. ”As a society, we are in trouble if innovation is focused solely on cars,” she says.
