  7. Abstract:
  8. Globally, bicycle sharing is one of the fast-growing solutions to climate change in the transport sector. However, what inequities may be reflected, exacerbated, or arose from its adoption and use? Relying on a qualitative research design involving interviews with bicycle sharing users, non-adopters, and daily observers of the cycling infrastructure (N = 36), site visits, and a literature review, we examine distributive, procedural, and recognition injustices in association with Bdood, an operating BSS in Iran, a developing country that allows for less-documented types of injustice to arise. In doing so, we utilize a comprehensive transport/mobility justice framework, drawn from the fields of transport equity, transport justice, and mobility justice, that enables the identification of numerous distinct injustices in transport and mobility systems. Based on our findings, we provide the community, the BSS company, and municipal and governmental authorities with directions to make BSS deployment more sustainable and just.
