Vélopop' is a bike-sharing scheme in Avignon, France, launched in July 10, 2009, engineered by Smoove. This community bicycle program comprises 200 bicycles and 17 stations for short term renting.[1] The bicycles are secured by a special fork in easy to install bicycle stands with mechanical keys distributed by automatic dispensers.
The system is designed and assembled in France[2] and accessible at all times, inside and outside city walls.[3]
