Bikeshare vs bike-share vs bike share. What's the correct nomenclature?
I'm writing about bikesharing a lot, and I can't figure out the best way to spell "bikesharing". I've been spelling it without a space, but it seems arbitrary and now that "scooter sharing" is being written without a space it really throws a wrench in the whole thing.
Is there an officially "correct" way of writing it or is it purely based on what people write the most?
Since this website is answer-based and not opinion-based, please don't post any claims that don't have evidence behind them.
