With the expansion of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in smart cities, the shared bicycle has developed quickly as a new green public transportation mode, and is changing the travel habits of citizens heavily across the world, especially in China. The purpose of the current paper is to provide an inclusive review and survey on shared bicycle besides its benefits, history, brands and comparisons. In addition, it proposes the concept of the Internet of Shared Bicycle (IoSB) for the first time, as far as we know, to find a feasible solution for those technical problems of the shared bicycle. The possible architecture of IoSB in our opinion is presented, as well as most of key IoT technologies, and their capabilities to merge into and apply to the different parts of IoSB are introduced. Meanwhile, some challenges and barriers to IoSB's implementation are expressed thoroughly too. As far as the advice for overcoming those barriers be concerned, the IoSB's potential aspects and applications in smart city with respect to technology development in the future provide another valuable further discussion in this paper.
随着智能交通系统（ITS）在智慧城市中的扩展，共享单车作为一种新的绿色公共交通方式迅速发展，并正在全球范围内极大地改变着市民的出行习惯，尤其是在中国。本文的目的是对共享单车进行全面的回顾和调查，除了其好处、历史、品牌和比较之外。此外，据我们所知，它首次提出了共享自行车互联网（IoSB）的概念，以找到一个可行的解决方案来解决共享单车的技术问题。我们提出了 IoSB 的可能架构，以及大多数关键的物联网技术，并介绍了它们融合并应用于 IoSB 不同部分的能力。同时，还彻底阐述了 IoSB 实施所面临的一些挑战和障碍。至于克服这些障碍的建议，本文还就未来技术发展方面，就 IoSB 在智慧城市中的潜在方面和应用提供了另一个有价值的进一步讨论。
