Weirdly there was a pull request [1] merged already to remove Pronto, not sure why it's still appearing...

#13How is the data gathered? In Stockholm all three items were in the middle of the water without any real information. The names sounded faux and were ungooglable.

#14It doesn't seem very consistent. Lots of points in Latin America but when you zoom in, they are all gone.
Rosario Argentina seems pretty up to date looking at street level. But the city markers just disappear.

Seattle has a mandatory helmet law. Are there any successful bike shares in places with helmet laws?

#17I built an app over it that attempts to predict the future state of any network. It later recommends addings/substractions in order to keep offer and demand balanced among stations.
It could work in about 440 cities but none of the big companies that lead this wanted this. What would you do with it?

#18It should be called "around the rest of the world" since it omits the biggest and hyper competitive bikeshares in some Chinese cities.

Vancouver's seems to be pretty successful and BC has a bike helmet law.
Vancouver's Mobi bike system did a good job with their messaging around helmets to make it optional to users. There is a helmet attached to each bike lock, and a convenient basket on the bike where you can put the helmet if you don't want to use it.

#20If you guys know what the competition is for bikeshares in China, you will know this is probably not real...
