it seems the only way this works is if the bikes are ubiquitous enough so that people can reliable assume the likelihood of one sort of near by is somewhat high.

I know a lot of people who maybe don't want to buy a bike (as they'd be casual riders at best) who would like something like this because they'd only "use what they need" and then let someone else ride afterwards.
