Since 1965, bikesharing activity has expanded to include four continents. These include Europe,
Asia, Australia, North America, and South America. Not surprisingly, Europe remains
the leading hub for bikesharing growth, development, and success.
At present, there are approximately 101 bikesharing programs operating in an estimated
125 cities around the world, with over 139,000 shared bicycles. As the leader in bikesharing
activity today, 19 European nations currently support it. The Americas operate programs in
Canada, Mexico, the U.S., Brazil, and Chile. Asia, which represents the fastest growing
bikesharing market, operates programs in China, South Korea, and Taiwan
