The White Bike

The White Bike is a symbolic project representing shared, collaborative transportation. Originating in the 1960s, it involved painting bicycles white and placing them in public spaces for anyone to use freely, promoting community access and environmental sustainability. The concept underscores the value of shared resources and collective responsibility, encouraging people to view transportation as a public good rather than a private commodity. Though not always physically available, the White Bike remains a symbol of innovative urban mobility ideas that prioritize sustainability, community involvement, and reducing individual car use.
