Are the bikes just left parked around the city? Here in Montréal, we have Bixi, with docks for the bikes every few blocks, and bikes have to be returned to a dock when you're done (or you'll get docked for the price of the bike, pun intended) so we don't hear about discarded bikes much.
The program is also a resounding success here!
It's the same general process you as you described. Us Americans are just kind of dicks.
