If the tourist is using the bikes to go from place to place (like from lunch to a museum, for instance), then using bikeshare makes perfect sense, as opposed to a taxi.

Stockholm's bikeshare (called City Bikes) has a 3-hour limit, so it's great for exploring the city or taking a longer ride in the Djurgarden.
