Cyclister, An Airbnb For Bicycles

“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike.” – John F. Kennedy

There is something inexplicably thrilling about using a bicycle to explore a strange, new city and its streets pulsating with life. The glass and steel of a building shimmer with certain magic, street life seems more vibrant and the smells and sounds of a metropolis at full tilt threaten to overwhelm your senses. When you’re on a bicycle, you can’t help but feel completely alive and immersed in the moment. Instead of merely gazing passively through window glass, you experience and interact with a place in an immediate way.

On a bike, you’re privy to the slight inclines of city streets, you can smell restaurants before you see them, and you can hear the different languages that are spoken in different neighborhoods. Cities provide fascinating opportunities to explore new culture and ideas, and what better way to make these new discoveries than by bicycle?

Cyclister, a Copenhagen-based startup, will help you to list all rental bikes all over the world and make them easily accessible to anyone who wishes to rent a bike via Cyclister’s online platform.  It also lets you list your own bike as available to rent.
