Dockless rental bikes parked outside Su Pan Bakery near San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood are a welcome sight. Maria Rodriguez, manager of the Mexican pastry shop, said the bikes that start around $1 are a cheap and healthy option for the high-density, low-income neighborhood. Plus, they’re good for business.
“When there’s more people being active, you see more people walking here around more, so we get more clients,” Rodriguez said.
