Buenos Aires also now has a program to support public transport with the use of bicycles. Mejor en Bici was created to bring the Argentine capital standards already proposed in other major capitals (Washington , Paris, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bBogota) that respond to traffic congestion by providing the citizens of bicycles (free or for pennies) and has protected in the urban cycle paths.
From this I discovered the interesting history of the bike-sharing.
The bike is undoubtedly the best way to get around in our cities (especially Italian) that still maintain (at least in their centers of commerce and most of the buildings) the characteristics of concentration of activities useful for everyday needs.

| [White bike] |
The first generation of bike-sharing in 1964 with the Amsterdam White Bike, normal bike painted white left on the street and made usable by everyone. Those who wished could drive the white bike to its destination and then park it for the next rider. Unfortunately, the system collapsed after a few months for public bike disappeared forever.
Nearly three decades later, in 1995, the second generation was launched in Copenhagen. It was called Bycyklen or City Bikes, and had substantial differences with the former because the bikes were designed for the specific use of the bike sharing with solid tires and had to be taken and reported in the same place of filing. The anonymity of users meant that many bikes were stolen.
A new branch of bike-sharing is the one that starts in 1996 at Portsmouth University in England Bikeabout. A magnetic card to allow students to rent bikes. This example and the third generation of bike-sharing were equipped with "electronic smarts" that would allow convenient use for users and the security that the bikes were not stolen by the municipality or the university that provided the bike.

From this moment on, the bike-sharing increased dramatically throughout Europe and America in particular through the development of telecommunications technologies and to the great success of the experiment Velo'v of Lyon. In 2007 Paris launched its program Velib 'bike with more than 20,600. This great investment changed the fortunes of the bike-sharing in the world. From this point on, many industries have begun to produce their own technological solutions.
In South America the first case is that of Rio de Janeiro , then Santiago and Buenos Aires, Tel Aviv, the Middle East, Australia Melbourne and Brisbane .
