The OYBike bicycle sharing system operates in Reading, with approximately 15 bicycles with docking stations at Reading station, Holiday Inn (Basingstoke Road) and Green Park. In March 2011 Reading Borough Council approved a larger scheme similar to the Barclays Cycle Hire in [[London]], with 1,000 bicycles available at up to 150 docking stations across Reading. <ref>[[wikipedia:Transport in Reading, Berkshire#Cycling]]</ref>
