Every college campus seems to agree that bikesharing programs are a good idea, but many are hesitant to invest in an expensive system that has little chance of being profitable. The high cost of bikeshare programs struck three Georgia Tech classmates as an opportunity.  "We realized that cities and campuses around the world were overpaying for clunky systems that were expensive to set up and maintain," said Kyle Azevedo, a co-founder of viaCycle, Georgia Tech's answer to expensive bikeshare systems.
