“…Third, SEM results showed that weather had a direct effect on shared bike users' intentions, while the effect of travel distance was not significant. Previous studies showed that weather was an important factor in determining riders' behavior [7,41]. This study found that weather directly affected people's desire to travel by means of shared bikes.…”

“…Gebhart and Noland [7] confirmed that the likelihood of using a shared bike and the duration of trips was affected by cold, rain, and high humidity. Kim [41] showed evidence that temperatures over 30˚C reduced bicycle usage in general. This paper showed that bad weather can have a negative effect on riders' use of a shared bike service.…”

Sharing the use of a bicycle in China has changed people's daily travel modes. Existing studies mainly explored the factors affecting individuals' initial intentions to start using a shared bicycle, but few looked at the likelihood that a user would continue using one. Based on a post-acceptance model of information system (IS) continuance, this investigation proposed a research model to investigate factors influencing riders' intentions to continued usage of shared bikes. Analysis involved structural equation modeling (SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on data from 376 shared bicycle riders. The results from SEM showed that perceived usefulness, service quality, riders' habits, overall satisfaction and the nature of the weather were the most important factors positively influencing users' intentions to continue bike sharing. The results from fsQCA showed that six combinations of these variables were sufficient to explain continued usage. The conclusions of this study can be useful for operators to improve shared bicycle services.

“…They concluded that a huge bikesharing demand appears in morning/evening peaks of working days and that bikesharing trips have various characteristics, including tide type, one-way type, loosely connected type, closely connected type, and distance-proof type. In addition, cyclists are more likely to take shared bikes in the weather of no rainfall, light wind, moderate temperature, and clean air quality [14][15][16]. The top three purposes of bikesharing trips are commuting (35.9%), entertainment (22.5%), and going home (18.1%).…”

With the rapid popularization of mobile Internet technology and smart terminal equipment in recent years, the volume and usage of dockless bikesharing (hereafter referred to as bikesharing), which is green, environmentally friendly and convenient, have grown rapidly, making it one of the China’s “new four major inventions.” The development of the bikesharing in China consists of a pre-sharing era and a post-sharing era. In the pre-sharing era, capital-driven vicious market competition and lack of precise control have led to the abuse of urban space. Since the post-sharing era, the industry structure has returned to rationality, and many participants have been forced out of the market. The bikesharing has formed an oligopoly market consisting of head players such as Hellobike, Mobike, and Ofo. Therefore, how to improve the level of refined operations, promote sustainable development, improve cyclist satisfaction, and contribute to China’s strength in transportation have become urgent problems for bikesharing companies and traffic management departments. From the perspective of the cyclist experience, the brand choice of the bikesharing is taken as the research object. An online revealed preference survey is used to collect data on cyclists’ socio-economic attributes and subjective evaluations on the bikesharing. The conditional Logit model is used to explore the important factors that influence cyclists on the choice of bikesharing brands. Research results include: (1) age, occupation type, after-tax monthly income of the faculty group, riding comfort, rent, picking up/returning convenience, word of mouth, and volume have a significant impact on cyclists’ bikesharing brand choices; (2) gender, educational background, monthly living expenses of the student group, appearance, deposit, deposit returning speed, rate of broken bikes, ease of use of software, and rent discount have no significant impact on cyclists’ bikesharing brand choices. The research results are of great significance for improving the service quality of bikesharing companies and promoting the healthy development of the shared economy in China. Based on the results of the study, policy recommendations are made on the improvement for riding comfort, human-centered design, and word of mouth, and the construction of shared facilities.

“…Brak pełnego zaufania wynika także z pewnych ograniczeń związanych z korzystaniem z tego środka komunikacji oraz przewagi innych, dotychczas częściej wykorzystywanych rozwiązań transportowych. Znaczącą barierą rozwoju tej formy mogą stać się warunki atmosferyczne (Böcker i in., 2016;Jappinen i in., 2013), które w widoczny sposób wpływają na obniżenie liczby wypożyczeń w dniach o niesprzyjającej pogodzie (Caulfield i in., 2017;De Chardon i in., 2017;Kim, 2018) oraz przeszkody związane z ukształtowaniem terenu (Sierpiński, 2012). Znaczącym czynnikiem jest również poczucie bezpieczeństwa w ruchu drogowym (Aldred, 2016;Fishman, Schepers, 2016;Werneke i in., 2015).…”

Cytacja:Kwiatkowski M.A., 2018, Bike-sharing-boom -rozwój nowych form zrównoważonego transportu w Polsce na przykładzie roweru publicznego, Prace Komisji Geografii Komunikacji PTG, 21(3), 60-69.Streszczenie: System roweru publicznego (bike-sharing system) staje się coraz bardziej powszechnym elementem systemu transportowego w przestrzeni miast w Polsce i na świecie. Do głównych powodów wprowadzania tego rozwiązania na obszarach miejskich zaliczyć można potrzebę zwiększenia wydajności miejskich systemów transportowych oraz dążenie do ograniczenia problemów tworzących się wskutek presji tradycyjnych środków transportu na środowisko. Rower publiczny z powodzeniem staje się także elementem transportu multimodalnego łącząc się z innymi środkami transportu publicznego. W Polsce bike-sharing funkcjonuje od 2008 r. rozszerzając swój zasięg z każdym kolejnym rokiem o nowe miasta, a także obszary wiejskie. W opracowaniu przeanalizowano zmiany liczby systemów w Polsce w latach 2017-2018 -w okresie największego rozwoju tej formy transportu na badanym obszarze. Analizę wykonano w oparciu o wskaźniki liczby stacji roweru publicznego na określonej powierzchni oraz liczby rowerów na tle liczby mieszkańców analizowanych miejscowości. W pracy porównano także cenniki wypożyczeń rowerów dla poszczególnych systemów funkcjonujących w Polsce. Na podstawie przeanalizowanych danych wyznaczono także kierunki rozwoju roweru publicznego w Polsce.Abstract: The public bicycle system (bike-sharing system) is becoming an increasingly common element of the transport system in urban space in Poland and in the world. The main reasons for implementing this solution in urban areas include the need to increase the efficiency of urban transport systems and to reduce the problems created by the pressure of traditional means of transport on the environment. Public bike is also successfully becoming an element of multimodal transport by connecting with other public transport. In Poland, bike-sharing has been operating since 2008, expanding its range with each subsequent year for new cities, as well as rural areas. The study analyzed changes in the number of systems in Poland in 2017-2018 -in the period of the greatest development of this form of transport in the studied area. The analysis was based on the indicators of the number of public bicycle stations on a given area and the number of bicycles on the background of the number of inhabitants of the analyzed cities. The work also compared bicycle rental rates for individual systems operating in Poland. On the basis of the analyzed data, the directions of public bicycle development in Poland were also determined.
