New #OpenAccess research in JTLU: “How #bikesharing changed destination distance for its users: A case study of Chicago Metropolitan Area” by Shubhayan Ukil, University of Michigan, and Aditi Misra, University of Colorado, Denver.

jtlu.org/index.php/jtlu/articl

The paper examines the impact of #Divvy shared bike services in the #Chicago metro region on trip distance of its users across all trips from 2008 and 2018, finding an 0.84km reduction in average trip distance among Divvy users when #bikeshare was available.

Recommendations include planning for shared bike services that are integrated with #transit in urban areas and promoting mixed land use so that users can choose proximate destinations in dense urban areas.

The person renting can be responsible for the full cost of the #Divvy bike *plus fees*, if not returned. Those in the lake were probably stolen at one time.

Renters can be responsible for as much as $1,200 for a lost or stolen bike. Don't leave them unlocked and out of your sight, even for a minute.

If yours does get stolen, merely filling out a police report might not be enough to get you out of that $1,200 fee. You might need to insist, in order to get the case escalated beyond a mere report.
