When transportation historians write about bikesharing in the US, they will look back on 2010 as a watershed year. After years of pilot programs and other incremental steps, it was in 2010 that real large-scale bikesharing finally appeared in the US, first in Denver, and later in Minneapolis and Washington.
To commemorate the big year, here is a list of all existing US bikesharing systems, ranked by size (according to the excellent
Bike-Sharing Blog).
