The 21st century has seen a cycling renaissance across Europe with many cities moving away from the car-centric infrastructure, urban design and planning policies prevalent since the 1950s. Southern European island cities, which exhibit certain characteristics considered as barriers to cycling, such as hot summers and high humidity, hilliness, and car-oriented culture and infrastructure however, have been lagging behind in this resurgence of cycling. Despite this, bicycle sharing systems (BSS) and policies promoting cycling have emerged in this region. These have the potential to provide alternatives for those marginalized by car-based mobility and to reduce traffic related diseases and injuries, noise and air pollution, which can contribute to an improved quality of life for all citizens.

Using the coastal city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) as a case study, the utilization of bike-sharing is investigated through a questionnaire to users of the shared bicycles, as well as through spatial analysis of the BSS trip data. The analysis of the survey, through descriptive and inferential statistics, allows for an understanding of the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the users, and the inter- and intra-personal factors influencing the choice to use a shared bicycle as a mode of transport. Results show that distance to nearest station, money-saving and environmental concerns, satisfaction with the operating system, and provision of safe cycling infrastructure significantly influence BSS use. A regression model is constructed to assess the influence of spatial factors such as land use, socio-economic characteristics and network variables on the use of the BSS. From the regression model it appears that the presence of cycling infrastructure, proximity to a bus station and the density of tourism accommodation, and by proxy, the number of cafes and restaurants, near bicycle sharing stations positively influences frequency of use. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of the BSS in the promotion of cycling and the transition to sustainable and inclusive mobility policies, which are still contested in the car-centric transport system currently dominating the city.

21世纪，整个欧洲经历了自行车运动的复兴，许多城市都从1950年代开始不再使用以汽车为中心的基础设施，城市设计和规划政策。南欧岛屿城市表现出某些被视为阻碍骑行的特征，例如炎热的夏天和高湿度，丘陵以及以汽车为导向的文化和基础设施，但在这种骑行复兴中却一直落后。尽管如此，该地区出现了自行车共享系统（BSS）和促进骑自行车的政策。这些措施有可能为那些因汽车出行而被边缘化的人们提供替代选择，并减少与交通有关的疾病和伤害，噪音和空气污染，从而有助于改善所有公民的生活质量。

以沿海城市拉斯帕尔马斯大加那利岛（西班牙加那利群岛）为例，通过对共享自行车使用者的问卷调查以及对BSS行程数据的空间分析，调查了自行车共享的利用。通过描述性和推断性统计数据对调查进行分析，可以了解用户的人口统计和社会经济特征，以及影响选择使用共享自行车作为交通工具的人际和个人因素。结果表明，到最近车站的距离，节省金钱和环境的问题，对操作系统的满意度以及提供安全的自行车基础设施的因素，对BSS的使用产生了重大影响。构建了一个回归模型来评估空间因素（例如土地使用，使用BSS的社会经济特征和网络变量。从回归模型可以看出，自行车基础设施的存在，靠近公交车站的距离和旅游住宿的密度，以及通过代理人使用的自行车共享站附近的咖啡馆和餐馆的数量，对使用频率产生了积极的影响。这些见解有助于加深对BSS在促进骑行以及向可持续性和包容性交通政策过渡中的作用的了解，而目前在以城市为中心的以汽车为中心的交通系统中仍然存在争议。自行车共享站附近的咖啡馆和餐馆的数量会对使用频率产生积极影响。这些见解有助于加深对BSS在促进骑行以及向可持续性和包容性交通政策过渡中的作用的了解，而目前在以城市为中心的以汽车为中心的交通系统中仍然存在争议。自行车共享站附近的咖啡馆和餐馆的数量会对使用频率产生积极影响。这些见解有助于更深入地了解BSS在促进骑行以及向可持续和包容性交通政策过渡方面的作用，而在目前以城市为中心的以汽车为中心的交通系统中，仍然存在争议。
