The public bicycle system in Beijing suffered a decline after the 2008 Olympic Games. This paper analyzes the causes for failure of the first generation of public bicycle system in Beijing. How to re-establish it? A new scheme for Beijing public bicycle system is introduced based on the worldwide experiences on the implementation of public bicycle plans.
