The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) in Boston, MA recently incorporated a dockless bike share system in their region. MAPC selected LimeBike and Spin as the two vendors that would provide users the ability to pick up and drop off a bike virtually anywhere in their fifteen participating communities. MAPC Executive Director Marc Draisen said, \u201cThe new system will incorporate station-less, smart bike technology, and will also feature some pedal-assist electric bicycles, or \u2018e-bikes,\u2019 to make cycling uphill and into headwinds less challenging. And, the system will be launched at no cost to the participating cities and towns.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
