- netsharc 10mo agoThey show a bike at a location, if it's rented it will disappear off the map, if it's "returned" (available to hire again) it will show back up on the map, but at a different location. So "represents one real bike ride" is... I guess a lawyer would say technically true. I was recording similar location data of a Car2Go-like service for a year or two some years ago, I realize considering they charge rentals by the minute, I could estimate how much they earn by analyzing how long the cars disappear for.
