Bicycle sharing system

Okay kiddo, you know how sometimes we don't have a bicycle but we want to ride one? Well, some places have something called a bicycle sharing system that helps solve that problem!

A bicycle sharing system is when a lot of bicycles are kept in one place for people to use, and then returned when they're done. It's like sharing toys with friends, but instead of toys, it's bicycles!

Here's how it works: let's imagine we're in a city center with a lot of people, but not everyone has brought their own bicycle. There's a special place where each bicycle is locked up called a docking station. This docking station has a lot of bicycles for people to borrow.

When someone wants to use a bike, they have to pay to unlock it from the docking station using a special card or phone app, just like buying a toy from a vending machine. They can take the bike for a ride and use it to travel from one place to another.

When they're finished, they just ride the bike back to a docking station where it locks back into place. This makes it ready for someone else to use, kind of like putting a toy back in the toy box after we're done playing with it!

These bicycle sharing systems are really helpful for people who need to go somewhere quickly but don't have their own bike or want to buy a new one. It's also really good for the environment because we can use bikes instead of cars which creates less pollution!

Overall, a bicycle sharing system is like a big bike rental system where people can borrow bikes and return them when they're done. It helps people travel around easily and is good for our planet too!
