iPhone app Shanghai Cycling Map

The Wuhan and Hangzhou Public Bicycle bike-share programmes in China are the largest in the world, with around 90,000 and 60,000 bicycles respectively.

Bicycle sharing systems can be divided into two general categories: Community Bike programmes organised mostly by local community groups or non-profit organisations; and Smart Bike programmes implemented by government agencies, sometimes in a public-private partnership.
The central concept of these systems is to provide free or affordable access to bicycles for short-distance trips in an urban area as an alternative to motorized public transport or private vehicles, thereby reducing traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution.
Bicycle sharing systems have also been cited as a way to solve the last mile problem and connect users to public transit networks.

In preparation for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, China, Shanghai launched a limited bike share programme which are accessible by RFID cards.
Users can purchase 100-ride credits for about $30.
Short rides are rewarded credits and longer rides subtract credits once the bikes have been re-docked.
Shanghai planned to expand to 3,500 Bicycle Hot Spots throughout the entire city by 2010.

Two years after the World Expo, Shanghais bicycle sharing programme has been mostly limited to the Minhang district.
