Beijing: The world's biggest bike sharing company will put hundreds of yellow bikes on Sydney streets from Wednesday evening, undeterred by controversy over bikes cluttering public spaces.

Chinese company Ofo, which has 10 million bikes in 18 countries, will distribute 200 bikes around the City of Sydney, ready for the Thursday morning commuter rush.

Another 200 will be placed in the Waverley Council area next week, followed by 200 in the Inner West.

The company is launching in Sydney amid controversy over whether the thousands of share bikes already on the street are a nuisance when they are discarded by riders, or pranksters, in inconvenient places.
