“…The key benefits that users perceive of the system are the avoidance of maintenance costs, affordability and not having to worry about theft and vandalism [72], which supports the findings in earlier studies on motivations for users to join BSS. However, the Bicing service cannot offer the same door-to-door flexibility and assurance of availability as owning a private bicycle.…”

A highly debatable issue is whether or not a paradigm shift toward the sharing economy could help to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of our time. This article contributes to the academic discussion by exploring the types of value created by sharing organisations and the strategies they use to institutionalise themselves in relation to powerful institutions. The study applies two analytical frameworks, based on value creation and institutional strategies, to three empirical case studies of bicycle sharing systems (BSS) in Barcelona. Rich data was collected from a variety of primary and secondary sources, including a field visit to Barcelona, interviews with representatives of the three bicycle sharing systems, observations and literature analysis. We found that the environmental value these organisations create is closely interlinked with the social value they produce and that these values outweigh negative impacts of their operations. All case organisations employ regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive strategies for their institutionalisation but are also subject to powerful institutions beyond their individual control. We recommend that entrepreneurs, city officials, the public and other stakeholders engage in collaborative and open development processes to shape the emerging sharing economy alongside the institutional work of sharing organisations.

“…The highly cited keywords "social network" and "collaborative consumption" show that the social attributes of shared transportation have gained considerable attention since the development of technical internet platforms. Of note, sustainability and the demand for shared transportation are still the focused areas for many scholars.Detailed analyses of the literatureTravel behavior characteristics of shared transportationThe behavior characteristics of shared transportation users mainly include travel purpose(Curto et al 2016), travel time (Mateo-Babiano et al 2016; Murphy and Usher 2015; Shaheen, Chan, and Gaynor 2016; Caulfield et al 2017), travel distance (Bachand-Marleau, Lee, and El-Geneidy 2012; Campbell et al 2016), as well as travel models (Krueger, Rashidi, and Rose 2016; Vine, Adamou, and Polak 2014; Zhou 2012; Martin and Shaheen 2011; Kopp, Gerike, and Axhausen 2015). Travel purpose The purpose of shared transportation travel most commonly includes commuting (Curto et al 2016; Basch et al 2015; Yang et al 2015; Fishman and Schepers 2016; Martin and Shaheen 2011), recreational (Mateo-Babiano et al 2016; Basch et al 2015), shopping (Vine, Adamou, and Polak 2014), tourist (Zaltz et al 2013), social (Zhang et al 2015), fitness (Romanillos et al 2016), and healthy lifestyle (Castillo-Manzano, Castro-Nuño, and López-Valpuesta 2015).…”

Shared transportation is playing an increasingly important role in sustainable urban transportation planning and control. Because it significantly affects people's daily life, socioeconomic development, and the environment, shared transportation has attracted attention from scholars and practitioners alike. For the former, the large number of articles published on the topic reveals the growing interest. Of interest are the articles that focus on travel behaviours, user characteristics, and social-economic impacts of shared transportation. Herein, we review 356 peer-reviewed articles on the topic that were published between January 2003 and September 2017. We employ a bibliometric method to investigate the overall characteristics, research methodology, research highlights, and research areas of these articles. Our analysis explores and discusses user travel behaviours, traffic satisfaction, key determinants, impact, development planning, and policies. Finally, we provide a detailed discussion on the future research challenges and new research directions for shared transportation.

“…Cycling is a human behavior that is a convergence of a myriad of individual (e.g., age, gender, physical abilities, and confidence level), situational (e.g., trip purpose, distance, time, and cost), and environmental (e.g., infrastructure, traffic conditions, and topography) factors [16,17]. Individual sociodemographic features are a major determinant in decisions of which routes to take or whether to ride a bicycle to get to a destination [18,19,20], and psychological factors (such as attitudes and perception) are also important [21,22,23]. Bicyclists generally prefer routes with bicycle infrastructure that can separate and protect them from vehicle traffic [18,20,24,25,26,27,28].…”

Understanding Potential Exposure of Bicyclists on Roadways to Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Findings from El Paso, Texas, Using Strava Metro Data

As bicycling on roadways can cause adverse health effects, there is an urgent need to understand how bicycle routes expose bicyclists to traffic emissions. Limited resources for monitoring reveal that bicycle travel patterns may constrain such understanding at the network level. This study examined the potential exposure of bicyclists to traffic-related air pollution in El Paso, Texas, using Strava Metro data that revealed bicycle patterns across the city networks. An initial spatial mapping analysis was conducted to explore the spatial patterns of bicycling and traffic pollutant emission, followed by exploratory descriptive statistics. A spatial bicycle model was then developed to explore factors influencing bicycling activity in El Paso. Analysis results indicated significant associations between greater bicycle volume and both higher levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions and more frequent bus services, implying adverse health concerns related to traffic-related air pollution. The results also indicated significant effects of various environmental characteristics (e.g., roadway, bicycle infrastructure, topography, and demographics) on bicycling. The findings encourage extending this study to provide guidance to bicyclists whose regular trips take place on heavily trafficked roads and during rush hours in this region and to evaluate the net health impacts of on-road bicycling for the general population.

Private and public modes of bicycle commuting: a perspective on attitude and perception

Abstract: Willing non-bicycle and public-bicycle commuters had more favourable perception toward public-shared bicycles compared to private cyclists. Hence, public bicycles may be the impetus for those willing to start bicycle commuting, thereby increasing physical activity levels.
