Now a newspaper article [1] has arrived. It isn't a communal venture like I theorized above but a commercial one, a duplicate of a business model that "has worked in China".

The company is called Green Economy. How they will earn any money dumping 1000 bikes and then charge 5 SEK for 30 minutes is beyond me, maybe the smartphone app comes with a fee or ads.

The article also says they are not worried people will steal the bikes because of their particular look. And low quality, one might add.

I am doubtful that bike sharing will still be a thing in 10 years.
