Rental System
The rental system requires a membership and a rental card. These are obtained by buying a season card (for 300 Swedish kronor SEK) or 3-day card (for 165 Swedish kronor SEK) (Prices state August 2011). Rental cards can be bought at "SL centres" (SL is Stockholm's public transportation company) and require registration with personal identification containing the Swedish national identification number called personnummer. For foreigners a passport is required.
Several one-day rental periods can be loaded onto a rental card, but once it has expired it cannot be reloaded again with a new rental period.
Stockholm's rental system is available between 1 April and 31 October, unlike other public bicycle programs that are available throughout the year.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
