The OYBike is a bike rental system which allows users to hire and return a bicycle via their mobile phone.
Esato News
The bikes can be found at transport hubs such as tube stations, public buildings, car parks.Each bike stand is equipped with a specially developed electronic lock operated through a keyboard and LCD display. This lock holds the cable secure until that bicycle is rented out. An OYBike registered user select an available bicycle and the locks display a code, the user then calls the OYBike call centre and gives them that code.A unique pin code is then read out to the user and sent back by text messaging. This pin code is entered into the lock to release the bicycle. After use the bicycle is locked into any empty port on an available OYBike station. A unique pin will appear on the lock display that must be sent back to OYBike to end the hire period. source:
