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.
The system is designed and assembled in France[2] and accessible 24h/d and 7d/w, inside and outside city walls[3].
