The first city that tried that system was Amsterdam in the 60s. In that time some members of the PROVO (an anarchic political movement) had made it to the City Council and had succeeded in having this system installed. They dropped white bikes (you're wrong when saying they were yellow) in the streets of the city for everybody to use but it soon appeared that the bikes disappeared (often thrown into teh canals) or were vandalized. It's a pity it was a failure but it paved the way for today's systems.
