The German DB Call a Bike hire bike scheme is in several ways the antidote to Boris Bikes in London:
- the scheme does not use docking stations
- bikes come with locks
- users locate the nearest available bike through their mobile phone
- bikes get unlocked through code provided by text message on a registered phone.
DB gets business users to combine the highspeed ICE trains and bicycles.
