Bike-sharing is one of the fastest growing new modes of transport in the world, with more and more schemes coming online every year. This paper examines the trends in a bike-sharing scheme that has been in operation in Cork since 2014. While many studies exist on how bike-sharing schemes are changing mobility in cities across the globe, few studies have looked and the dynamics of these schemes in smaller cities. The findings of this research show that in a small compact city like Cork the average trip times recorded are short and regular users have habitual trip patterns using the same bike stations and following similar routes on a daily or weekly basis. The findings also suggest that weather does have an impact upon usage with longer trips more likely during better weather conditions. The findings of the paper provide insights to the dynamics of usage of a smaller bike-sharing scheme and results on how bike-sharing is offering citizens a new transport alternative.
