Nossa Bici

Guide to Co-create Community Bike Sharing Systems

The Nossa Bici guide presents design-based steps to help communities create and manage their own bicycle-sharing systems in places with mobility problems and inequality. Rather than offering a closed product, it provides a participatory process supported by tool cards that guide collective decisions on bike sourcing, rules of use, storing, and shared management. The project transforms design methods into accessible tools, promoting autonomy, community ownership, and a scalable approach to mobility as a social right.
