Barriers and facilitators to bikeshare programs: A qualitative study in an urban environment

Sociopsychological factors associated with the adoption and usage of electric micromobility. A literature review

“…This is directly related to the recent surge of e-MM around the world and the growing interest in their impacts on society. In fact, 24 articles were published in 2021 (Teixeira et al, 2021;Glavić et al, 2021;Edel et al, 2021;Esztergár-Kiss and Lopez Lizarraga, 2021;Flores and Jansson, 1957;Huang, 2021;Kazemzadeh and Koglin, 2021;Kopplin et al, 2021;Kwiatkowski et al, 2021;Lee et al, 2021a;Melia and Bartle, 2021;Mitra and Hess, 2021;Patil and Majumdar, 2021;Rejali et al, 2021;Thomas, 2021;Abouelela et al, 2021;Bateman et al, 2021;Biegańska et al, 2021;Bielinski et al, 2021;Buehler et al, 2021;De Ceunynck et al, 2021;Eccarius et al, 2021), showing the attention academia is paying to these new modes.…”

“…In fact, more than half of these articles (26) present sample sizes surpassing the 500 participants (Nematchoua et al, 2020;Johnson and Rose, 2013;Mitra and Hess, 2021;Patil and Majumdar, 2021;Rejali et al, 2021; bureau de recherche 6t, 2019; Hyvönen et al, 2016;Kaplan et al, 2015;Krauss et al, 2022;Simsekoglu and Klöckner, 2019b;Ling et al, 2017;Pimentel and Lowry, 2020;Glavić et al, 2021;Sanders et al, 2020;Alamelu et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2018;Ye et al, 2014;Fitt and Curl, 2019;Bieliński and Ważna, 2020a;Kaplan et al, 2018;Simsekoglu and Klöckner, 2019a;Abouelela et al, 2021;De Ceunynck et al, 2021;Esztergár-Kiss and Lopez Lizarraga, 2021;Flores and Jansson, 1957;Kopplin et al, 2021). Qualitative interviews were used in 6 articles as their main methodology (Jones et al, 2016;Dill and Rose, 2012;Kazemzadeh and Koglin, 2021;Thomas, 2021;Mayer, 2020;Popovich et al, 2014a), with sample sizes between 20 and 47 interviewees while 2 other studies chose to use focus groups (Edge et al, 2018;Bateman et al, 2021) with sample sizes of 10 and 27 participants. The remaining 8 studies used multimethod designs, combining surveys, interviews, and focus groups (Fyhri et al, 2017;Melia and Bartle, 2021;Plazier et al, 2017;...…”

The strengths and weaknesses of bike sharing as an alternative mode during disruptive public health crisis: A qualitative analysis on the users’ motivations during COVID-19

“…Moreover, mandatory helmet laws are associated with lower BSS usage rates ( Ricci, 2015 ; Fishman, 2016 ). However, the major barrier for BSS adoption seems to be related to safety concerns which are particularly connected to having to cycle together with motorized traffic without dedicated cycling infrastructure and having to endure dangerous behaviours from car drivers ( Fishman et al, 2012 ; Bateman et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Among others, the study revealed the major problems of Shanghai's BSS to be related to the poor quality of the bicycles due to vandalism and inadequate maintenance; rebalancing issues; as well as the fact that several dockless systems abruptly closed due to bankruptcy, leading users to lose confidence on the systems ( Lyu et al, 2021 ). Similarly to the previous two studies, Bateman et al (2021) assessed the motivators and barriers for BSS usage in Alabama (USA), classifying the barriers and motivators as intrapersonal, interpersonal and as structural factors. Bateman et al (2021) found that the most important motivations influencing BSS usage where not so much connected to intrapersonal or interpersonal factors (like the pleasure of cycling or the support from friends and family) but to structural ones such as the coverage of the system and features of the built environment (like the existence of dedicated cycling lanes).…”
