Lyon was actually one of if not the first city to offer such service, in 2007. It was financed by an advertising company in exchange for the concession for managing public displays.
I’ve heard from a local that they are constantly having to transport the bikes uphill again because nobody takes them that direction. Still better than cars, but not ideal.
There are 2 hills, the rest is flat. And one of them is not really populated. Having trucks move bikes between station is pretty standard to ensure correct distribution of bikes, hills notwithstanding.

I haven’t used them since about that time, I can’t say what the prices are now.
