Simply add (@cycbikes_bot) as friend on telegram and start the chat.

Run on your own bot

To run the cyctelebot on your own telegram bot (i.e. let your own bot provides the bike-share information service), you need to:

1. download all the files in CYCTelebot.
2. Create file cycbikes_TOKEN in the same directory and write the token of your own bot in the file.
3. use python3 to execute cyctelebot.py in the same directory or directly execute cycbikes
   python3 cyctelebot.py or
   ./cycbikes

Then your bot can start to look for bike-share information for the users!

Add commands

All the command programs are subclasses of PgmAbstract in pgmabstract module (pgmabstract.py). One can add new command program by writing a subclass of new program which inherits PgmAbstact in the same directory. Then add the corresponding ("/new_command" : "NewProgramSubclassName") in the list of the commandsmap.json file.
