CityBikes is the most comprehensive open access API for bike sharing information, with support for more than 700 cities all around the world.

Less than 25% of CityBikes data comes from open data standard feeds—for every city in CityBikes publishing their bike sharing information in a reusable format, there are at least three more that do not use a standard format.

CityBikes aims to change that by providing developers, researchers and organizations with a standard resource to bridge this gap and contribute towards an interoperable open data ecosystem for mobility services.

In this talk, **Lluís Esquerda**, main developer at CityBikes, will share the motivations behind the project, what it’s like to maintain it after more than a decade, and dive into the new tools and historical data systems they are building.
