Changes

This is a '''timeline of {{w|bicycle sharing system}}s''', attempting to describe significant events related to the evolution of the systems, as well as their expansion worldwide.

| 1960s || Bike sharing dates back to this decade, with the introducction of the first system in {{w|Amsterdam}}.Considered '''first generation''', the system comprises ordinary bikes without locks or racks. First generation systems are still used in closed areas such as national parks.<ref name="Three generations bike sharing"/>

| 1990s || The docking station-ID system develops as second and third generations of bicycle sharing systems are introduced in the next decade. The '''second generation''' introduces bikes specially designed that can be picked up and returned at specific locations (racks) with a coin deposit (like super market trolleys). The '''third generation''' includes high tech solutions like electronically locking racks, or bike locks, chip cards, which requires a user being identified{{w|mobile phone}}s and {{w|internet}}. The third generation system 'knows' who uses the bikes.<ref name="Three generations bike sharing"/><ref name="Can Bike-Sharing Programs Fight Climate Change?">{{cite web |title=Can Bike-Sharing Programs Fight Climate Change? |url=https://www.thebalancesmb.com/how-do-bicycle-sharing-systems-work-4176148 |website=thebalancesmb.com |accessdate=2 July 2019}}</ref>

| 2000s || The '''fourth generation''' of bicycle sharing systems is introduced, incorporating mobile docking stations which allows them to be removed and transferred to different locations, thus enabling stations to be relocated according to usage patterns and user demands.<ref name="Fourth Generation Bikeshare and Social Innovation"/>|-| 2010s || "Today, bike-sharing services are now seemingly ubiquitous in many major cities. The An unprecedented growth has been fueled by the propagation of “dockless” systems, shared bicycles that can be parked nearly anywhere, has led to unprecedented growth, increasing the number of publicly accessible bikes from 1.2 million worldwide in 2015 to more than 16 million in China alone in just two years."<ref name="The Evolution of Bike Sharing: 10 Questions on the Emergence of New Technologies, Opportunities, and Risks"/>
