The 2020s are the years to explore sharing concepts. Beyond car sharing we have become used to share scooters and bicycles for intermodal transportation. The concepts are subject to continuous evaluation and the choice between free-floating versus fix point stations remains a hotly contested topic. Despite using either one of both sharing concepts, families and friends might practice their own sharing of modes of transportation. Whereas for cars the driving licenses and insurances might limit the sharing, for private bicycles there are no such restrictions.
A little bit of basic understanding and practice of repairs allows to share family-owned bicycles with little effort. Equipped with a GPS-tracker, even free floating might be an option in addition to theft protection. With less space taken up by cars in household garages, bicycles can occupy, at last, sufficient space including a little corner for maintenance and repairs.
