Mini PBS: Minimal Public Bike Status App

A minimal webapp to check your daily bike stations in one click and a fraction of a second.

Many PBS system have an application to consult the availablity of bikes on stations. But these applications are often cumbersome, slow and impractical. So I made a (very) lightweight webapp to display your daily bike stations with the data of the CityBikes API.

Use

Open the webapp

The features are:

• More than 700 bike sharing systems available around the world (via the CityBikes API)
• List the availability of mechanical and electrical bikes on all stations
• Pin your regular stations to the top of the list (and bookmark your configuration)
• Lightweight page (< 80ko), minimal UI
• no cookies, no login

Develop

The app is made with Flask, a Python web framework. It is based on the CityBikes API that provides coherent data from more than 700 bike sharing systems.
