There are now over 2,000 cities with a bike share program. Bike
Share examines all the major developments in the 50-year history of
bike share. The book provides a detailed focus on contemporary bike
share programs, including many of the most prominent systems, such
as those in Paris, London, and New York, as well as the rapidly
emerging dockless bike share sector. This book also addresses how
rapid technological innovation, particularly in terms of mobile
internet devices and electric assist bicycles may change the face
of not just cycling, but urban mobility more generally. By the end
of 2018 it was estimated that there are more than 20 million
bicycles in the global bike share fleet, with most of these
dockless, coming online only in the last three years. Consequently,
research examining bike share has not kept pace with the rapid
deployment of this new form of urban mobility. Bike Share addresses
a number of key themes such as: The urban age, contextualising bike
share within a wider urbanism movement and how it sits within the
growing sharing economy. The impact of bike share, looking at
systems in China, Europe, North America and Australia to see how
these programs have changed travel patterns and consequent impact
on car use, emissions, congestion, public health and safety. The
bike share business model, including how ride sourcing services
like Uber and Lyft are beginning to integrate their business with
bike share service providers. Public reaction to bike share. Bike
share gone wrong, looking at systems that have failed to achieve
their ridership estimates. And the future of bike share including
public transport smart card integration, mobile payments, and
electric assist bicycles. The book provides scholars, city
planners, transportation practitioners and students with a resource
that captures the most pertinent scientific findings and practical
lessons that have been from bike share programs around the world.
