“…Given that e‐scooters are more likely to be used by younger men, then there is potential that availability of a wider range of transport modes, including e‐scooters could help maintain (Bruno & Nikolaeva, 2020)or develop sustainable transport practices among this demographic at a time when young people are typically gaining transport independence (Hopkins & Stephenson, 2016). This could potentially reduce car dependence across the life course, especially given that men drive more than women (Ministry of Transport, 2019) but this needs to be investigated using longitudinal data.…”

This paper explores whether e-scooters can be considered similar to cycling in terms of their demographic appeal and skills required. Building on a social practices approach, we hypothesise that e-scootering and urban cycling may appeal to a similar demographic and require similar competencies. We draw on data from a 2019 survey of users and non-users of e-scooters. Respondents are not more likely to use an e-scooter if they have cycling experience. E-scooters seem to appeal to a broader demographic than cycling. Users are more likely to be young, able, males. Cycling experience is not associated with e-scooter competence.

“…Changes to cycling infrastructure can have a two-fold objective: recruiting new active commuters and/or developing cycling as a permanent habit for transportation, thus minimizing the drop-off rates [ 38 ]. Cycling must not only be made possible, but it must be made desirable and attractive [ 39 ].…”

ObjectivesMovement-friendly environments with infrastructure favouring active mobility are important for promoting physical activity. This scoping literature review aims at identifying the current evidence for links between mobility infrastructures and (a) behaviour regarding active mobility, (b) health outcomes and (c) co-benefits.MethodThis review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA scoping review guidelines using PubMed and EMBASE databases. Studies included in this review were conducted in Europe, and published between 2000 and March 2023.Results146 scientific articles and grey literature reports were identified. Connectivity of sidewalks, walkability, and accessibility of shops, services and work are associated with walking. Cycling is positively associated with cycle-paths, separation of cycling from traffic and proximity to greenspaces, and negatively associated with traffic danger. Increased active transportation has a protective effect on cardiovascular and respiratory health, obesity, fitness, and quality of life. Co-benefits result from the reduction of individual motorized transportation including reduced environmental pollution and projected healthcare expenditure.ConclusionMobility infrastructure combined with social and educational incentives are effective in promoting active travel and reducing future healthcare expenses. A shift to active transportation would increase both individual and community health and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

“…Acknowledging that social practices form at the intersection of material affordances, social meanings and competences, scholars like Shove [60], Watson [74] and Evans [17] counter the popular belief of proenvironmental actions solely resulting from individual rational attitudes and choices. The past two decades have been witness to "a practice turn" in social theory [11], with SPT applied to a range of geographical settings, from water and energy consumption practices [28,67], cycling [8] or grassroots activism [21].…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies have enabled work, education, community activity, and access to healthcare to be situated within our homes. These emerging applications call for a renewed focus on the geographies of online privacy. Thus, this research aims to explore the geographies of digitally-mediated privacy practices at home during the COVID-19 lockdown through the method of qualitative in-depth interviews with the lay-users of the Internet. Using Social Practice Theory, the paper explores contextual, collective and spatial dimensions of privacy. In particular, the paper explores how increased use of digital technologies at home during the COVID-19 lockdown has reconfigured practices of self-disclosure, data-sharing and protection of private spaces. First, the paper argues that the use of new work tools, the re-purposing of work tools for social means, and the use of personal devices for work functions, have all affected people's ability to maintain boundaries between their work and personal lives. Second, the paper uncovers how public health concerns during the pandemic mobilised the collective dimensions of privacy, countering the popular belief that privacy is an individualistic concern. Taken together, these findings point at reorienting digital geographies of privacy towards the people and spaces 'behind' the screen.
