Zusammenfassung

Nos últimos anos, proliferaram políticas municipais socioesportivas destinadas a promover o uso partilhado de bicicletas em diferentes localidades da Espanha. O objetivo deste artigo é, por um lado, saber se o impacto do clima, temperaturas e precipitações médias influenci a o uso de bicicletas partilhadas. E, por outro lado, analisar se o uso dessas bicicletas é afetado, dependendo dos dias da semana, meses e estações do ano. Para este propósito, um estudo descritivo e transversal foi realizado ao longo de 3 anos, registran do os usos de bicicletas partilhadas oferecidas em um município espanhol. Os resultados indicam que não foram encontradas grandes diferenças no uso em relação aos 7 dias da semana. Com relação aos meses, os dados evidenciaram um aumento progressivo no uso do mês de abril para julho, atingindo um pico de 15,6% e 15,8% nos meses de agosto e setembro, respectivamente. Também foram obtidos resultados ligados a variáveis meteorológicas, concluindo que temperaturas amenas e chuvas escassas estão associadas a um maior número de usos do sistema.
