Abstract The following paper is meant to illustrate the use of the idea of bike-sharing system in urban logistics.

The idea of self-service public bike rental system has been widely presented in the article. Further, the components of the architecture system have been discussed. The authors presented the principle of functioning of the self-service public bike rental system, called bike-sharing, as well as its transport accessibility in cities in Poland. Moreover, the authors illustrated the principle of functioning of the system by the case of public bike rental in the city of Katowice, called ‘City by Bike’, and in the city of Cracow, called ‘Wavelo’.
