Overland Park studying pros and cons of "dock-less" bike-share program

Rental bicycles could be scattered throughout Overland Park by next spring. The city hired a consultant to research the pros and cons of bringing a bike-share program to the biggest city on the Kansas side of the metro area. What makes the options Overland Park is studying unique is the program wouldn't use docks or stations to collect bikes. Users would simply leave the bikes where ever they stop. Then other users would find, unlock and pay for rentals using a smartphone app.
