What is The Meddin Bike-Sharing World Map? 

The Meddin Bike-Sharing World Map provides a map of the world’s bike share services (short-term bike and e-bike rentals available across networks of mobility hubs), along with a directory of information about the global growth of the bicycling sharing market.
 
Started in 2007 by Paul DeMaio as “The Bike-sharing World Map”, a bike share system map and directory of two-wheeled micromobility service providers, it has become the go-to resource for information on bike sharing across different cities.

Who Runs The Meddin Bike-Sharing World Map?

For over a decade, Russel Meddin, carefully curated the regularly updated map to ensure it accounted for the industry’s rapid expansion, now counting over 3,000 bicycle-sharing systems worldwide. The latest version, launched in 2020, has been renamed: The Meddin Bike-sharing World Map to honor Russel’s dedication and positive impact on the bike share industry. It is maintained and kept up to date by a team of bikeshare enthusiasts from around the world and exists as a truly collaborative tool that is available to everyone in the Micromobility world.
 
Lyft Urban Solutions provides ongoing sponsorship to The Meddin Bike-sharing World Map, as we believe it  highly valuable tool to keep track of and understand the ever-expanding world of shared micro-mobility and its growth and impact across different cities.

What Information Can I Find About Bike Sharing Systems on the Map?

Can I Find Reports on Bike Share Across the World and its Impact on Cities?

With ten consecutive years of work, research and data, they wanted to create a report that highlights the changes that the bike sharing industry saw during the COVID-19 pandemic, showcases its resilience and growth and demonstrates the potential of biking and cyclist infrastructure overall in providing cities with a sustainable means of transportation.
