New #OpenAccess research in JTLU: “How #bikesharing changed destination distance for its users: A case study of Chicago Metropolitan Area” by Shubhayan Ukil, University of Michigan, and Aditi Misra, University of Colorado, Denver.

jtlu.org/index.php/jtlu/articl

The paper examines the impact of #Divvy shared bike services in the #Chicago metro region on trip distance of its users across all trips from 2008 and 2018, finding an 0.84km reduction in average trip distance among Divvy users when #bikeshare was available.

Recommendations include planning for shared bike services that are integrated with #transit in urban areas and promoting mixed land use so that users can choose proximate destinations in dense urban areas.

I enjoyed a brilliant spin around Mexico City on a municipal rental bike. The deal? Just 123 MXN (around €5.70) for a full day, with rides up to 45 minutes included in the price. Pushed my luck slightly and rode for 45 minutes and 15 seconds, landing a minor overage fee of 22.41 MXN (about €1). Absolutely worth it for the freedom to explore the city.

I might use a #BikeShare if I were visiting another city, but only if they're more like vending machines that take cash or a credit card. I'm not putting their geolocating apps on my phone.

And I wish our municipal government had not granted the contract to tetherless bikes and scooters, but had required docking stations. I really don't like all those bikes and scooters abandoned everywhere, blocking sidewalks and park paths.

Bikeshare culture is growing in Indianapolis, here's why

"IndyRides Free provides an annual pass to Marion County residents to use the bikeshare at no cost.

And people are seizing the opportunity!

About 4 out of every 5 bikeshare trips have been taken by passholders since its launch.

“It puts this right in their hands. They can use the bikes at no cost to them and puts more money back in their pocket," Haley said."

Denver on-pace for record use of public e-scooters, bikes in 2024

"Denver is on track this year to reach six million riders which, at this point, 5.6 million have used the scooter/bike share program, according to DOTI Executive Director Amy Ford. That, transportation officials said, eliminates an estimated two million car rides in the city.

Overall, roughly 19.5 million trips with bikes and scooters were recorded since 2021"
