4.When Citi Bike rolled onto the streets of New York,it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice.Even before it,one blog post on Le Monde's website announced,"Bike share to take America."The next major development was in Copenhagen,which introduced a coin-operated system in 1995called Bycyklen,or"City Bike."For 17 years,these bikes zipped through the streets of Denmark's capital until the program was shut down late last year-it's getting an upgrade to third generation technology.
Sponsored (赞助) by media giant Clear Channel,the French city of Rennes brought the next generation of bike share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths (电子亭).From there the technology has progressed,picking up GPS,cellphones,and real-time tracking along the way,and has spread throughout Western Europe-and the world.
However,the worldwide leader in bike sharing,as measured by the number of bikes,is China.According to data collected by the Earth Policy Institute,20 of the 25 largest bike share programs are Chinese.
Take a look at Hangzhou,China,and you'll see what just may be the best bike share in the world.Although now second in China by size,the Hangzhou Public Bicycle system is one of the densest shares,and probably the most extensively used one.Residents and tourists alike can put down a deposit(押金)of 200Chinese Yuan (about﹩33)and ride for an hour for freein this scenic city on the Yangtze Delta.Each additional hour is the equal of only﹩0.15-one reason why riders put in a quarter-million rides a day.By 2020 it's projected to have 175,000 bikes.
Then,in March,2017,many people in cities like Beijing and Shanghai received this kind of cellphone message:Come and ride our bike for free!These messages are part of the battle between two big bike-sharing companies Ofo and Mobike.Both of the companies are trying to attract more users and the competition is still going on.
Nowadays,most of the systems share several characteristics-bikes with low theft value,electronic docking stations,ranked(分级的) payment rates,smart phone operating systems-but different cities are trying different ways to make bike sharing work.Bike sharing is predicted to grow at a very fast pace,opening up to its users a new means of urban transportation.
