Cheap bike sharing schemes usually don't have gears. If you've ever been to Lisbon you'll know that will be an issue. Lisbon needs electric assist bike for a bike sharing scheme to work.

The Oslo city bike system costs 249 NOK/3 beers for a year and has 3 gears. More gears could likely be implemented if needed for not much more.

I don't see why city biking would be any different than other biking.
