Demo bike sharing - do not share your location, otherwise map will jump out of the bike share area.

How does it work?

  • No special bicycles required, any usable (mid-sized frame) bicycles will do
  • No fixed stands required, stand positions are just marked for visibility
  • Checks and balances included to prevent system abuse
  • Free for all or charge users for rental time

Run with Docker

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

open your Browser at http://localhost/app/home or http://localhost/logs
