Recent Bike Share Growth

Accoriding to an article by Nacto.org Bike share in the U.S. has continued its brisk growth, with 35 million trips taken in 2017, 25% more than in 2016. This growth is attributable to increasing ridership in existing systems as well as the launch of several major new bike share systems across the country. Since 2010, 123 million trips have been taken on bike share bikes in the U.S

In 2017, the number of bike share bikes in the U.S. more than doubled – from 42,500 bikes at the end of 2016 to about 100,000 bikes by the end of 2017.

In 2017, 48% of all station-based bike share trips took place during rush hours (7-9AM or 4-6PM), and 76% of all trips took place on weekdays.
