A Copenhagen-based startup thinks it’s come up with a more convenient alternative to your city’s bike-share program—and its co-founders have ambitions to bring their business to a city near you.
The problem with public bike-share programs, says Donkey Republic co-founder Erdem Ovacik, is two-fold. First, they’re unpredictable. Sometimes you’ll arrive at a station only to find all its spots filled, with your allotted bike time quickly expiring. Other times—particularly if you’re a visitor to a city and don’t know your way around—you’re unable to estimate how much time it will take to travel to your destination.
