It may be faltering in Barcelona, but bike sharing is definitely moving forward in more than 200 cities around the world. The latest addition to the trend in South America is a new program in Santa Fe province, about 300 miles from Buenos Aires.

While the Buenos Aires government keeps adding stations to the recently launched local bicing, the Santa Fe program was launched with only 15 bikes and one station, which is pretty lame to use as a transport alternative. But they announced they are adding 45 new bikes and two more stations this week.
