“…[36]. For instance, research found that environmental concern indirectly affected customers' intention to adopt hybrid vehicles through attitude and subjective norm [13]; it was found that environmental concern indirectly affect users' intention to use shared bicycles through attitude and subjective norm [7]. The TPB model allows additional variables to be added to improve the predictive explanatory power for behavior intention [29].…”

“…The TPB scale consisted of six latent variables: environmental concern (EC), policy support (PS), attitude (AT), subjective norm (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and intention to use (IU). The scale items of the TPB variables were adapted from the existing scales of prior research [7,13,41]. Furthermore, the scale items of environment concern were adapted from the previous works [7,11,13].…”

“…Among them, shared electric bicycle travel has attracted much attention as a new sustainable travel mode [6]. The sharing of shared electric bicycles is a time-sharing lease system [7], which integrates technologies such as the internet, satellite positioning, and smart locks. Operating companies place electric bicycles in crowded areas, such as residential communities and parks, to provide short-and medium-distance travel services to residents, charging them according to their usage time and travel distance.…”

“…It was indicated that residents' attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control have an great effect on their intentions towards environmentally friendly behavior [11,12]. In addition, some scholars suggested environmental concern significantly affect the intention of environmentally friendly behaviors [7,13], and government policy significantly affect the intention of green travel behaviors [14]. However, currently few studies have systematically examined whether environmental concern and policy support will affect residents' intention to use shared electric bicycles based on the TPB (theory of planned behavior).…”

In China, shared electric bicycles are developing rapidly, and are widely used by residents. Understanding the factors that affect residents’ intention to use shared electric bicycles is important for implementing a policy of developing sustainable transportation. A sample of 751 respondents has been collected in a small-sized Chinese city to analyze residents’ intention to use shared electric bicycles, using an extended theory of planned behavior model. The findings reveal that the research model can well explain residents’ intention to use shared electric bicycles. Attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control have direct positive effects on the intention to use shared electric bicycles. Among them, the subjective norm has the greatest impact on the intention to use shared electric bicycles. Environmental concern and policy support have indirect positive effects on the intention to use shared electric bicycles through the partial mediation of attitude and subjective norm. Based on the above analysis, some measures are proposed to guide the development of shared electric bicycles.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed socioeconomic vulnerabilities around the world. After fighting the coronavirus for more than 1 and a half years now, the countries are recovering from the epidemic with the help of cutting-edge medical research. The policymakers are implementing stimulus packages for post-pandemic economic recovery. However, sustainable “green recovery” plans are yet to get adequate attention. Sustainable investment in green industries can create green jobs, promote a low-carbon economy, and foster long-lasting economic growth in the post-pandemic world. COVID-19 affected countries with emerging economies call for even more focus on such investments. In Bangladesh, the bicycle industry — a growing low-carbon industry — has been showing promising potential for growth since the beginning of the pandemic. Both the local and global markets of Bangladeshi bicycles have seen substantial growth during the epidemic. In this paper, we analyze the potential of the Bangladeshi bicycle industry as an effective green recovery driver. We conduct semi-structured interviews with relevant experts and professionals, analyze their opinions, and perform a “strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT)” analysis. The analysis reveals valuable insights regarding post-pandemic sustainable economic and environmental recovery which will be beneficial to the policymakers of Bangladesh and similar developing countries.
