Not so many in place today. But hey, who&#8217;s counting (other than\u00a0Russell Meddin and\u00a0Paul DeMaio). The most notable U.S. bike-sharing systems are probably the <a href=\"http:\/\/bikocity.com\/nyc-bike-sharing-program-to-start-with-10000-bikes\/\" target=\"_blank\">New York<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bikocity.com\/boston-bike-sharing-still-rockin-to-increase-50\/\" target=\"_blank\">Boston<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/planetsave.com\/2013\/03\/02\/dc-bike-sharing-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D.C.<\/a> systems.<\/p>\n<p>Europe, meanwhile, has a <em>bazillion<\/em> bike-sharing programs in place today. OK, maybe not a bazillion, but a lot. It also has a decent number of once-living-but-now-defunct programs, another sign of the more mature level of bike-sharing in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s China and Japan, which also have a large number of programs, as well as several planned. I&#8217;ll also note that China has at least one or two ginormous programs. For example, the\u00a0Hangzhou, China\u00a0bike sharing system (last I heard) has 50,000 bikes at 2,050 stations. It is used for approximately 240,000 trips a day. By 2020, the system is supposed to include 175,000 bikes! Here&#8217;s a video on the Hangzhou system from Streetfilms:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/24241296\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"The Biggest, Baddest Bike-Share in the World: Hangzhou China\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Of course, there are a few other bike-sharing programs in other locations, but those three regions certainly lead the show &#8212; not very surprising, given the high(ish) level of investment needed to get these programs going, as well as the fact that they are particularly well suited for high-density cities. (Note: lest you get confused, there are no programs, no planned or under construction programs, and no defunct programs in the Southern Ocean &#8212; that&#8217;s just the legend.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to say that I use the <a href=\"http:\/\/zacharyshahan.com\/bike-sharing-program-in-wroclaw-poland-1st-ride\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wroc\u0142aw, Poland bike-sharing program<\/a> regularly (well, not in winter &#8212; the bikes are removed in winter). I&#8217;ve seen Barcelona&#8217;s bicing program &#8212; very nice one. And I&#8217;ve seen a few other, smaller ones.
