We investigated the characteristics of bicycle, business model, operating mechanism, current problems for Bike-sharing programs of the three metropolitan cities in Europe, and we also discussed the development mode and applicability of Bike- Sharing program. Then we provide guidelines that´s where and how to establish the Bike-Sharing program in developing country with the consideration of the weather and topography of the target city.
