The Bay Area already has this, in the form of Google Bikes, which sometimes (often?) find their way off-campus. I have before come across one outside the entrance to my apartment building (the one I live in, I mean): The bike was standing on the walkway, obstructing it. I found that interesting, because the building has two underground secured area for bikes, and residents can take their bikes through to their apartments. You may reply "Well, where was the outside bike rack?" And you are right, there is none. But, in response I bring up the Whole Foods not too far away: They have a bike parking area, and the Google bike was parked not there. Of course, it's possible (likely?) that a Googler hadn't left it there: Someone could've taken it. Either way, I think the point still stands: You have effectively a station-less bike sharing plan, and bikes are ending up outside of where they're supposed to be. Does Google still do 20% projects? This seems like an interesting thing to study!
