..it’s a Bikeshare is.. - SPEARHEAD SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BIKE CULTURE AS A WHOLE. - MOVE COMMUTERS FROM CARS TO BIKES - BE ATTRACTIVE AND EASY TO USE FOR COPENHAGENERS, COMMUTERS AND TOURISTS. - BE FLEXIBLE AND SEAMLESS TRAVEL Copenhagen already has more bikes than inhabitants so the role of the Bike Share system will be to spearhead and promote Copenhagen as the Bike Capitol per se. The Bike Share System will supplement and facilitate the already existing bike culture. Using the Travel Card (Rejsekortet) as the key, Bike Share will be fully integrated into the public transportation – a flexible alternative, a connecter and a much needed short distance extender of the already established routes and public transportation systems.

37 % 37 % of the copenhageners bike every day, and cover a total distance of 1.200.000 km.

Copenhagen is regarded as a pioneer city, when it comes to implentation of bicycles in the transportation infrastructure.

In average the copenhagener bike 3 km every single day.

..it’s a conce pt Bike share is the glue between different modes of public transport and add to the feeling of freedom and connectivity. In this proposition we integrate future initiatives such as the Travel Card (Rejsekortet) and the city toll zone (Bompengeringen). It’s about erasing barriers in public transport and we create an obvious and attractive alternative to people who commute to and from the city in cars. Share Bike provides the users of public transportation with a a flexible and reliable alternative to waiting for the bus, tiresome walking or spending time in car queues.

The Travel Card is the ticket of the future. It will in a few years merge all of the different ticketing systems of today. We envision the Travel Card to be the main key to Bike Share to enhance ease of use and continuity. Within the Travel Card optional models of payment and combination of payment models will be made available for flexibility. Here we show examples relating to the Copenhagener, the tourist and the commuter – some general some relating specifically to Bike Share such as the Swap Zone feature.

THE BIKESHARE WEBSITE The website functions include: The live data system-feedback is an encouraging, motivational feature that raises awareness about the Bike Share system and its effects in the public realm. 1. Find-a-bike service is an interactive map with live data feed. Here you can check out where to find the nearest station with available bikes, link to a route planner and order a travel card. (also a mobile service) 2. Booking-service: This service allows you to book a bike so that if you are arriving by train there is a bike ready for you. (also a mobile service)

..it’s seamless travel

3. ‘Around the World’ is a comparison of Share bike systems all over the world. This feature is installing a competitive and motivational attitude and is encouraging other cities to take action and take their systems and infrastructure to the next level in order to promote a sustainable way of life. Does Copenhagen still hold the yellow jersey as the bike capitol per se? How many times have the Share Bikes been around the world? (based on km total) 4. My Share Bike: Is the interactive tracking of your data. You can check up on all your stats such as credits on your travel card, calories, kg of CO2 saved, number of trips and your km total.

P A SW Swapzones The boundary of the Bike share zone will be defined by the future city toll zone. This is a boundary where entering cars will be charged a fee to enter the city zone. Using the toll zone boundary to define the Bike Share zone forms a unique opportunity to combine P-zones with special Bike Share stations called ‘Swap Zones’. The Swap Zones will offer commuters an attractive alternative to entering the city zone by car. Park your car for free, avoid paying the toll and continue your journey on a share bike - enjoying the fresh air, getting exercise and most likely getting to your destination faster – all free of charge!

Large stations

The stations are placed with high frequency all over the city. An even distribution of the smaller stations in a tight grid combined with the larger stations placed at all metro stations and larger public traffic junctions make the system efficient and attractive.

The Sharebike

Good looks & comfortable riding experience. The design of the Sharebike is fresh, urban – yet elegant. The combination of comfort, elegance and a street cool attitude makes it the essence of a Copenhagen bike - appealing to a wide group of people. The bike has robust and puncture-safe – but not massive tires – which improves the experience considerably. The low frame height makes the bike easy to mount for kids, older people and women in skirts etc. It has front and back lights and rims with reflecting strips for optimal visibility. The front has a basket that allows light cargo. The bike cannot be locked outside a station. The high number and density of small stations will compensate for this. It has the advantage that the bike is always locked into an authorized station when left by the user. The user is of cause held liable if they leave the bike unlocked. Another advantage of this is that the bikes are not kept in a passive state in between stations – this improves availability and distribution.

CHP Cargo-bike The Cargo-Bike addresses a real need among the Copenhageners who are entirely dependent on their bikes or other means of public transport. Cargo Bikes are expensive and are often only invested in by people who have a daily need for them. We have designed a Cargo Bike that clearly relates to the Bike Share product family. The front is narrower than the average cargo-bike which makes the Bikeshare Cargo-bike less a hassle on the bike paths. The basket-like front stops the front by being flooded by rain water. Introduction of the Cargo Bike will be the characteristic that makes the CPH Bike Share stand out.

Bike bits The bike consists mainly of standard massproduced components cast in recycled aluminium (frame), bio-plastics (fenders, rims) and Kevlar (the puncture safe tires). The bike is mounted with LED magnetic induction bike lights for safe journeys during winter and night-time. For minimum maintenance the bike has an enclosed chain box and to maximize riding comfort the saddle height is made adjustable.

Small stations - The stations need to be visible and easy to find and as street furniture they should be compatible with the city layout and atmosphere – a balance between visibility and integration. - The small station pillars not only offer a parking spot and a lock for the Share Bike. They also have integrated LED lights that lights up the parking spot at night making it a safe and accessible exchange point – of cause powered by the sun.

Large stations - The larger stations have info standers with larger touchscreens that offer various interactions. A LED display shows the stats on the whole system; km biked pr day and the km total on the system. - The larger stations also have a Bike Pump function – this service also apply to normal bikes.

Temporary stations

Bikeshare street furniture

In addition to the stationary stations we have designed a station-format that is easily transported, installed and removed. It can be used at temporary sites such as big events or when construction work disrupts the normal layout of public transport, which will be the case at many sites in Copenhagen during the oncoming years of extending the metro-system.

Focus has been to design clean and aesthetically pleasing bike stations that signify ease of use. Our focus has been a simple, adaptable and cost-aware solution that is long-term durable.
