I don't know if it's a common thing around the world, but in Toronto there's a car sharing program (2, actually) that allows you to take a car when you need it for a nominal fee. Similar idea, in other words, but with cars or vans instead of bicycles.
I don't see this working as well for bikes, though. A fully serviceable bike can be had for less than $200 with all the necessities (helmet, bell/horn, lights), and maintenance is dirt cheap. Given the cost of ownership, it'd have to cost next to nothing to rent one in order for this to be competitive.
