Zagster

edit

71% of Americans say they’d like to bicycle more yet list access to a bike as the number one barrier to doing so. Zagster provides bikes where people live, work and visit; giving them access using their mobile phone. We’ve found property managers (e.g. Related Management), universities (Yale), businesses (Cisco) and hotels (Hyatt) are willing to cover the costs of providing bike fleets as an amenity. We’ve consulted in the space since 2007, launched at 56 locations and are a TechStars Boston company.
