# Award-Winning Cycles Openbike by LOTS Design Wins Copenhagen Bike-Share Competition By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-11 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openbike References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/openbike/) & [lotsdesign.se](http://www.lotsdesign.se/) Copenhagen is a bike-friendly city, which made it a natural location for an international bike design competition. The idea (which led to OPENbike) was to make a bike that lends itself to bike sharing. In different cities across Europe (and a select few in the US), it is becoming more and more popular to have communal bikes that can be rented. LOTS Design created the OPENbike.
