I use the shared bike system in my city almost every day. The system is installed by the company Lyft Urban Solution (formerly PBSC). This company offers the "PBSC" mobile application available on the Android PlayStore and Apple AppStore.

The PBSC application allows you to borrow/return bikes and check the availability of bikes at stations. I have a very "commuter" use of the bikes, meaning I almost always take the same route, one way in the morning and the other way in the evening. Therefore, I need to check the availability of bikes at a few stations that are always the same. I found that the PBSC application did not allow me to obtain this information efficiently, so I had fun creating my own interface for my use case.

Thanks to the CityBikes API and the Python web framework Flask, I developed the Mini-PBS webapp that allows me to choose my favorite stations and check the availability of bikes at these stations with just one click.
