Vélopop'

Vélopop' is a bike sharing scheme in Avignon, France, launched in July 2009, engineered by Smoove. This community bicycle program comprises 200 bicycles and 17 stations for short term renting.[1] The bicycles are secured by a special fork in easy to install bicycle stands with mechanical keys distributed by automatic dispensers.
