“…When the London cycle hire scheme was launched, concern was expressed in the press45 and in the consultation process46 that cycle hire users would face higher injury rates. Like one previous Canadian study,47 our findings are reassuring in finding no evidence that cycling on a bicycle sharing system is more dangerous than own bicycle cycling. Indeed, if anything our results suggest that using cycle hire bicycles may be safer than cycling in general in central London, although to date the comparisons are underpowered.…”

“…Furthermore, bicycle, as an alternative to the automobile, holds the potential to reduce traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, and fossil fuel consumption (de Nazelle et al, 2011;Macmillan et al, 2014;Xia, Zhang, Crabb, & Shah, 2013). However, safety concerns are among the most important barriers for cycling (Chataway, Kaplan, Nielsen, & Prato, 2014;Daley & Rissel, 2011;Daley, Rissel, & Lloyd, 2007;Fishman, Washington, & Haworth, 2012;Gatersleben & Appleton, 2007;Heinen, van Wee, & Maat, 2010;Lawson, Pakrashi, Ghosh, & Szeto, 2013;Rondinella, Fernandez-Heredia, & Monzón, 2012;Schepers, Hagenzieker, Methorst, van Wee, & Wegman, 2014).…”

“…To our knowledge, there is no study examining lack of awareness of PBSP across time as a factor limiting accessibility. As part of a larger investigation (see Bélanger-Gravel et al, 2014a, 2014bFuller et al, 2011Fuller et al, , 2013aFuller et al, , 2013bFuller et al, , 2013cFuller et al, , 2013d and given existing literature, this study therefore examined 2-year changes in lack of awareness of a transport-related innovation implemented in Spring 2009 in Montreal, Canada, namely a PBSP called BIXI © as a function of proximity to bicycle docking stations and educational attainment while controlling for socio-demographic and health characteristics. Our main hypothesis was that Montreal residents are more likely to be PBSP-unaware over time if the docking stations are not within a walkable distance from their home and if they have lower education.…”
