Bicycle is an affordable and environmental friendly alternative to private cars
and public transportation. Recently, some big cities in China established the
bike-sharing system (BSS) through which people can rent bikes offered by
government or commercial companies. However, due to limited parking
space, it is often difficult for bikers to park their bicycles in bike stations. This
paper envisions approaching this problem by using a self-organized bike redistribution
strategy: as time passes by, bike society will form an equilibrium
state of bike redistribution.
