New bike-sharing programs rolling out in America’s largest cities in 2013 will dwarf existing efforts. New York City’s CitiBike program will place 5,500 bicycles at nearly 300 stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn in May, with the ultimate goal of reaching 10,000 bikes. Chicago plans to start its bike-sharing program in June, ramping up to 4,000 bikes at 400 stations by 2014. And a pilot project of 1000 bikes this spring in San Francisco and Bay Area cities may expand to a 10,000-bike program in a few years.
