This company lets small towns have bike shares, too


Though small towns are often overlooked when it comes to transportation innovation, a company called Koloni brings an affordable bike share system to the small town of Pocahontas, Iowa. The town, with a population of 1,700, is easily navigable by bike, and the company hopes to use Pocahontas as a model for expansion to other Iowan towns. Pocahontas, Iowa, has 1,700 people–and a higher number of bikeshare bikes per resident than the Citi Bike system in New York.
