hey Sebastian! ’seems like you already did what came into my mind when planning our break-out-kit for the atoms&bits-festival here in Berlin. Lot’s of things going on from sept 25th – 27th. Like to tell you more if you are interested. I founded a coworking space called betahaus. We try to connect all the coworking spaces in Berlin with a bike rental service. Bikes should serve electricity and wifi. Would be so cool if you could maybe give us some good hints or even support us somehow…
