Bike-sharing is a tech and transportation trend that is exploding around the world. With a fleet of over 10 million bikes worldwide, Ofo is positioning itself to be a leader in the space. Chris Taylor, Head of Ofo North America, joined us to share the companies strategy to take on the heavy competition. Ofo is one of two $1 billion bike-sharing companies from China. Now, ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing plans to roll out its own platform. Taylor discussed how Ofo will respond to the move that puts its marketshare at risk. Taylor was one of Uber's first employees.

Taylor said there was a focus on growing as quickly as possible and it was missing the infrastructure needed at such a large company.
