abstract="Bikesharing has evolved with components such as distinctive program bicycles; fixed and flex docking stations; use of advanced technology for locating, reserving and accessing bikes; and links with public transit. In mid-2011, there were 136 bikesharing programs in 165 cities around the world, with the fastest-growing programs in Asia. Different cities have implemented bikesharing in different ways, with some focusing on congestion relief and others viewing it as a solution to the &quot;first mile/last mile&quot; problem for access to public transit. A study of a program in Hangzhou, China, found that members use multiple transportation modes and have a higher rate of automobile ownership than non-members, suggesting that car ownership does not reduce the likelihood of bikesharing.<p />",
