Launched in La Rochelle, Vélos Jaunes
was in operation for over 30 yeas – the
longest running program to date
Of the some 600 cities now operating
bike share programs, ITDP has singled
out seven for having world class
systems, "hitting the mark with both
high market penetration and high
infrastructure usage:
Paris Velib bike sharing program stands out as lighthouse to all cities interested in promoting a sustainable cycling culture
Bike sharing initiatives all over the world

Launched in 2007, Paris bike sharing
program -Velib – has around 23,000
bikes and 1,800 stations and has the
highest market penetration
- 1 bike per 97 inhabitants
Around 250,000 annual subscribers
and between 100,000 and 150,000 daily
journeys - each bike makes an average
of eight trips a day
+ 600 bike-share
projects all over the
world –
75% are located in
Europe
Barcelona bike sharing system has
6,000 bikes, but it has a higher
utilization than Paris scoring about twice
as many journeys in relative terms.

In another hand, London is promoting a cycling revolution building new infrastructure
London Cycle Superhighways
Painted a bold, bright blue, the
cycle highways are 1.5 meters
wide and they provide a safer
space and more efficient routes
for cyclists to travel.

Station Density
A dense network of stations
across the coverage area,
with an average spacing of
300 meters between
stations
Coverage Area
The minimum area
covered by a system
should be 10 square
kilometers, large enough
to contain a significant
number of user origins and
destinations - smaller areas
may drive down system
usage.

10-30 bikes should be available for every 1,000 residents within the coverage area.
Larger, denser cities and metropolitan regions with an influx of commuters served by the system
should have more bikes available to meet the needs of both commuters and residents.

The process of checking out a bicycle should be simple.
The payment and authorization technology utilized should have an easy-to-use interface and
a fully automated locking system
