It is kind of fun to imagine fleets of riderless bikes shuttling themselves around cities to meet demand. HubWay, CitiBike, and similar services would love that; I don't have any citation, but I would guess that manual shuttling and redistribution of bikes is a significant portion of their operating cost.
