Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objective<\/strong> To estimate the risks and benefits to health of travel by bicycle, using a bicycle sharing scheme, compared with travel by car in an urban environment.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong> Health impact assessment study.<\/p>\n

Setting<\/strong> Public bicycle sharing initiative, Bicing, in Barcelona, Spain.<\/p>\n

Participants<\/strong> 181 982 Bicing subscribers.<\/p>\n

Main outcomes measures<\/strong> The primary outcome measure was all cause mortality for the three domains of physical activity, air pollution (exposure to particulate matter <2.5 \u03bcm), and road traffic incidents. The secondary outcome was change in levels of carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong> Compared with car users the estimated annual change in mortality of the Barcelona residents using Bicing (n=181 982) was 0.03 deaths from road traffic incidents and 0.13 deaths from air pollution. As a result of physical activity, 12.46 deaths were avoided (benefit:risk ratio 77). The annual number of deaths avoided was 12.28. As a result of journeys by Bicing, annual carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by an estimated 9 062 344 kg.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/strong> Public bicycle sharing initiatives such as Bicing in Barcelona have greater benefits than risks to health and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n
