Adorned with stylish branding and corporate sponsors\u2019 logos, these facilities are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessmagazine.org\/fall-2015\/unraveling-the-modal-impacts-of-bikesharing\/\">transforming transportation<\/a>&nbsp;in cities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The modern concept of bike sharing \u2013 offering bikes for short-term public rental from multiple stations in cities \u2013 was launched in Copenhagen in 1995, but U.S. cities only started piloting their own systems in the past decade. Washington D.C. led the way, launching SmartBike DC in 2008 and an expanded network called Capital Bikeshare in 2010. This program now boasts&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalbikeshare.com\/\">over 480 stations and a daily ridership of 5,700<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within a few years, bike-share systems launched in Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and dozens of other cities. In 2016 there were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nacto.org\/bike-share-statistics-2016\/\">55 systems across the country with a total of over 40,000 bikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>And momentum continues to grow. In 2017 Citi Bike in New York City added 2,000 bikes, increasing its fleet to a total of 12,000. San Francisco is expanding its system from just 700 bikes to 7,000, thanks to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fordgobike.com\/expansion\">sponsorship deal with Ford<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"City of Dallas memo warns dockless bike share companies to clean up\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/heXUm57Xrk4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Officials in Dallas warn dockless bike-share companies to keep bikes from blocking sidewalks, ramps and trails.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Going dockless<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest twist in this rapid expansion is dockless bike sharing, which lets users park bikes anywhere within defined districts and lock and unlock their bikes with smartphone apps. Users don\u2019t have to locate docking stations or worry about whether space will be available at their destination. These systems also are cheaper to set up, so providers can charge lower user fees. Some dockless bike-share companies&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/scottbeyer\/2017\/09\/30\/limebike-eyes-expansion-in-new-york-city-and-washington-dc\/#7fbda0a6a4c9\">offer rides for as little as US$1 for the first half hour.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dockless systems are also helping to address&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.citylab.com\/equity\/2017\/07\/what-keeps-bike-share-white\/533412\/\">equity issues posed by public dock-based systems<\/a>, which often are located in more affluent and predominantly white urban neighborhoods. Because dockless systems don\u2019t require stations, they can be rapidly deployed in zones that dock-based systems may be slow to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itdp.org\/dockless-bikeshare-know-so-far\/\">Students at Beijing University<\/a>&nbsp;developed this approach in 2014 to improve campus mobility. Dockless bike-share companies have flooded Chinese cities with bikes in the past two years, leading to massive piles of discarded bicycles in public spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" data-attachment-id=\"302\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/13\/bike-share-companies-are-transforming-us-cities-and-theyre-just-getting-started\/seattle_-_spin_bike_-_saddle_detail\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1700\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1507484707&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;55&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-300x199.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-1024x680.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail-2048x1360.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Dockless cycle share bike in Seattle. <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Seattle_-_Spin_Bike_-_saddle_detail.jpg\">Joe Mabel, CC BY<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle turned to dockless companies to fill the gap after a publicly funded dock bike-share system there failed in 2016.
