  • Public Bicycle Schemes
    Division 44 Water, Energy and Transport Recommended Reading and Links on Public Bicycle Schemes September 2010 Reading List on Public Bicycle Schemes Preface Various cities around the world are trying methods to encourage bicycling as a sustainable transport mode. Among those methods in encouraging cycling implementing public bicycle schemes is one. The public bicycle schemes are also known as bicycle sharing systems, community bicycling schemes etc., The main idea of a public bicycle system is that the user need not own a bicycle but still gain the advantages of bicycling by renting a bicycle provided by the scheme for a nominal fee or for free of charge (as in some cities). Most of these schemes enable people to realize one way trips, because the users needn’t to return the bicycles to the origin, which will avoid unnecessary travel. Public bicycle schemes provide not only convenience for trips in the communities, they can also be a good addition to the public transport system. Encouraging public bike systems have shown that there can be numerous short that could be made by a bicycle instead of using motorised modes. Public bike schemes also encourage creative designs in bikes and also in the operational mechanisms. The current document is one of the several efforts of GTZ-Sustainable Urban Transport Project to bring to the policymakers an easy to access list of available material on Public Bike Schemes (PBS) which can be used in their everyday work. The document aims to list out some influential and informative resources that highlight the importance of PBS in cities and how the existing situation could be improved.

  • Welcome to Dubliners – a Full Day's Epic. We Do Not Call This Tour Is Not
    Welcome to Dubliners – A Full Day’s Epic. We do not call this tour is not called an epic lightly. In fact it’s a great challenge! Joyce was a great walker and mapper in his youth, when he spent hours roaming across his city, and as he roamed, so does his Dubliners – and in the case of this ‘Epic’ for 9-10 hours across his city. A few important things to note about your map When there is a track to listen to the route arrow will be purple, when there is nothing to listen to the route arrow will be red. All track numbers are colour coded to their story colour on the map. Please do be sure to read the important accompanying instructions and background to each track, before pressing play. The playing time for each track is written after its verbal description at the bottom of the map. This is not the time it takes to walk to the next location. You will also see the track counting down as it plays in the top left hand corner of your screen. You have ten detailed step by step maps and one overview map in your folder. Tips on how your Mp3 player works You will be shown how to use the player before you leave. However these are some things to remember along the way: There is a blank 1 minute after nearly every track – this is to let you know that that track it is over and it’s time to walk to the next location.

A high quality, tailored, multimodal mobility eco-system, which includes the provision of sustainable first-mile / last-mile (FMLM) choices, integrating with long distance modes linking key centres, will be a key catalyst for the change required to maintain the region as a global competitor. ‘First-mile last-mile’ is typically used to describe the beginning or end of an individual journey to or from a transportation hub or service. Within the Heartland the definition of first-mile last-mile represents a wider choice of both traditional and emerging transport modes that enable access to opportunities and needs.

  • Worldwide Bikesharing
    Worldwide Bikesharing SUSANSHAHEENANDSTACEYGUZMAN ikesharing has evolved greatly since the first program was launched in the Netherlands in the mid-1960s. As of May 2011, there were an estimated B136 bikesharing programs in 165 cities around the world, with 237,000 bikes on the streets. In the Americas, bikesharing activity has spread to Canada, Mexico, the US, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Asia, which represents the fastest-growing bikesharing market today, has programs in China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Photograph: Johannes Eisele/AFP/Getty Images As bike(sharing in London hits a record high, we explore schemes across the globe his year is the 10th anniversary of the world’s first large-scale bike-sharing scheme, the Velib in Paris, whose immediate success – 20 million users in its first year – prompted cities across the world to wheel out their own copies. A decade later there are 1,000 of these schemes, from Milton Keynes to the medina in Marrakech, with 17 across the UK and more opening this year. T Some have back-pedalled: Seattle will shut its Pronto scheme in March, a victim of hills, rain, budget cuts and the city’s mandatory helmet law, while in Spain cash-strapped local authorities have put the brakes on half of the country’s 130 schemes.

  • The Role of Bicycle-Sharing in the City: Analysis of the Irish Experience
    ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The role of bicycle-sharing in the city: analysis of the Irish experience Enda Murphy1, Joe Usher1 1University College Dublin, School of Geography, Planning & Environmental Policy, Planning Building, Belfield, Dublin, Dublin, Ireland Corresponding author: Enda Murphy, , . E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bicycle-sharing schemes have become an important piece of infrastructure in many cities across the world over the last decade. However, existing research investigating the role and impact of these schemes in cities is sparse. This research analyses the impact of a recently implemented scheme in Dublin, Ireland. Using evidence from 360 questionnaires, the paper examines four associated with the scheme: (1) the socio-economic characteristics of the users; (2) its impact on modal choice; (3) its peak and off-peak functionality; and (4) its impact on driver awareness of cyclists. Results show the scheme is used predominantly by higher-income individuals, it has a different functionality during the peak and off-peak and has been indirectly successful at improving driver awareness towards cyclists. INTRODUCTION Downloaded by [University College Dublin], [Enda Murphy] at 05:35 25 July 2013 The role of cycling in the city transportation system has gained increasing attention in recent years due, at least in part, to its rise in popularity as an alternative mode of transport in many European cities. This rise in popularity is related to numerous factors in individual countries some of which are policy-related while others are related to changing cultural and socio-economic contexts (see DeMaio, 2009; Midgley, 2011). There is little ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT doubt though that it is due, at least in part, to the fact that awareness of the bicycle as an environmentally-friendly and healthy alternative to motorised transportation has been raised.
