Get.a.Bike is a system of renting and sharing bikes for locals and visitors in the city of Copenhagen. The goal is provide a easy service and encourage the user to return the bikes to the stations.



First the user goes to one of the stations and makes their registration and deposit. The machine will give to the user a personal key with a code bar to use to release the bikes. When the user takes the bike from the station they have 24 hours available to use it. Each bike has a timer that gives a visual feedback of how much time the user still has. If the user doesn’t return the bike in time they will lose their deposit made before.

On the next step I would like to try the system and get feedback from users
