There are an estimated 100 million bicycle owners in the U.S.
If you’re one of them, it may be parked in a garage collecting dust, but you can make money on that bike when you’re not using it, CBS News’ David Begnaud reports.
Inside a tiny studio apartment in southern California, at least six employees maintain a website and a mobile app for a global bike-sharing company called Spinlister.
In 90 seconds or less, anyone can list their bike on Spinlister.com through the app or website, set a rental price and select accessories to include with the rental.
Spinlister’s cheapest rental is in Palo Alto, California, for $1 a day. A four-person family bike in San Francisco is the most expensive daily rental at $400.
Worldwide, there are 15,000 people who …
