Time period | Development summary |
---|---|
1960s | Bike sharing dates back to this decade, with the introducction of the first system in 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.[1] |
1970s | Many city governments and non-governmental organizations start attending the creation of bike sharing systems and begin to consider them as part of the public transport system.[2] |
1990s | The second and third generations of bicycle sharing systems are introduced in the 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, mobile phones and internet. The third generation system 'knows' who uses the bikes.[1][3] |
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.[4] |
2010s | Today, bike-sharing services are ubiquitous in many major cities. An unprecedented growth has been fueled by the propagation of “dockless” systems, shared bicycles that can be parked nearly anywhere, 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.[5] |

---|---|---|---|---|
1965 | System launch | A group of activists in Amsterdam introduce the Wittefietsenplan (White Bikes), a set of dozens of regular bicycles painted in white and left unlocked for anyone to use and leave behind for the next person. This first generation program is not a business offering, but the result of a political statement of concern for pollution and against the growing number of cars in the city. It would eventually result into a massive failure and would be quickly shut down after many of the bikes are stolen or damaged. The main person behind the program, Luud Schimmelpennink, is considered the father of the bike share.[6][7][8] | Netherlands (Amsterdam) | |
1974 | System launch | Vélos Jaunes program in La Rochelle introduces 350 free bicycles for use. This first generation system would prove to be successful.[9][10] | France (La Rochelle) | |
1975 | The idea of a bicycle sharing system is illustrated in Ernest Callenbach's novel Ecotopia, a utopian novel of a society that does not use fossil fuels. Callenbach describes a system available to inhabitants and integrated as part of the public transportation system.[11] | United States | ||
1991 | System launch | A second generation of bike-sharing program launches in Farsø and Grenå, Denmark.[12] These bikes can be picked up and returned at specific locations (racks) with a coin deposit (like super market trolleys). These second generation bikes would still experience theft due to the anonymity of the users, though their advantage remains in their simplicity and low cost. The system is still in use in Denmark and other (Scandinavian) countries.[1] | Denmark (Farsø, Grenå) | |
1993 | System launch | "Green Bike Schemes" launches in Cambridge, England as a free byke system, with almost 300 shared bicycles that would be eventually stolen, resulting in program failure.[9] | United Kingdom (Cambridge) | |
1994 | System launch | The first North American bikesharing program is launched in Portland, Oregon, by the United Community Action Network. Sixty bicycles are left unlocked at Pioneer Square in Portland and are available for anyone to use. The program would close in 2001.[9] | United States (Portland) | |
1995 | System launch | Having taken 30 years for another major city to attempt a large-scale public bike program, Bycyklen, or City Bikes, launches in Copenhagen as the first large-scale second generation bike-sharing program, with many improvements over the previous generation.[12] This system allows users to access sturdy, shared bicycles at specific locations throughout the city via a coin-operated system. Despite clear improvements over Amsterdam’s White Bikes, thefts and vandalism still plague the program, in addition to problems in funding. The system eventually flourish, featuring fixed docks, where riders deposit money to unlock the bikes. Riders would then get their deposit back after returning the bike to a dock.[6][7] | Denmark (Copenhagen) | |
1996 | System launch | Bikeaboutin launches at Portsmouth University in England as the third generation of bike-sharing programs, where students can use a magnetic stripe card to rent a bike.[12] It is the first to come up with a solution to the theft problem. The magnetic-stripe card to borrow a bike, allows it to be tracked when it isn't returned.[7] | United Kingdom (University of Portsmouth) | |
1996 | System launch | "Olympia Bike Library" launches in Olympia, Washington as a second generation coin-deposit model system.[9] | United States (Olympia, Washington) | |

2000 | System launch | Second generation "City Bikes" launches in Helsinki, offering clunky and heavy, single speed bikes in green, which can be rent with a 2 euro coin.
