Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet and the rapid spread of mobile Internet, an emerging concept, sharing economy, is increasingly being used in people's daily lives. In this context, bicycle sharing comes into being, and becomes one of the new highlights of the development of sharing economy. What are the socio-economic benefits of the rise of bicycle sharing becomes an issue of concern. This paper first introduces the development background and development status of the bicycle sharing. Second, this paper analyzes the socio-economic benefits of bicycle sharing. It points out that bicycle sharing has unique advantages in promoting sustainable development of transportation. Finally, this paper summarizes the current role of bicycle sharing in sustainable transport development, and looks forward to the future development of bicycle sharing. The results show that door-to-door bicycle-sharing using will reduce the use of private cars to a certain extent, which will bring considerable social benefits and promote sustainable transportation development.
