For really successful bike-rental programs, look at France. Paris and Lyon have been really successful at encouraging tens of thousands of riders to join. In fact, almost every city I've been to in North/Western Europe has a system like this, from some which are run entirely by credit card and satellites (Berlin) to those which worked on a chain which comes loose when you put in a coin, much like a shopping cart here (Copenhagen).

About dang time we had something like this here. It won't be a magic bullet, but like bike lanes, it's one more piece in the puzzel of making cycling accessible to a much larger percentage of the population.
