How many times have you found yourself in a far-away town with no bicycle and no way to rent one? Never? For me, the answer is never. However the venture capitalists behind Spinlister hope that I’m an aberration.

The company actually has a complicated history, having already been launched, changed business plans, and failed once. But hey, second or third time’s the charm.

I’m skeptical of all these “Uber for x” and “AirBnB for x” business plans and doubt I’d make any of my bikes available over one.
