Fundraising for a Christchurch public bike share

NextBike is looking to start a public bike share in Christchurch.

This has already made the news:

The crowd-funding campaign got underway over the weekend and has already raised $5420 of a $45,000 target, which would put around 30 free bikes in four popular areas.

The plan is to fundraise for the technical costs (like the leasing requirements + actual installation of the bikes) to get the Bike Share up and running. NextBike have a branding partner who will fund the operating costs if they can crowd fund these initial set-up costs.

If you would like to make a contribution, please do so here.

Check out the video of the scheme on Vimeo:
