Not only can Google Maps tell you where to take your bike for your next adventure, but Google Bikes can show you where the nearest bicycle and scooter sharing stations are.
According to Alek Asaduryan, founder of online cycling blog YesCycling, with the Google Bikes app, you can easily locate and unlock the bike inside the city. These shared cycling options can make large commuter cities, including Chicago, New York, London, and Montreal much simpler places to get around.
