Bike Sharing -- From a User's Perspective

From a User’s Point of View ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Check out the Copenhagen bike-sharing competition, AND http://www.velib.paris.fr/paris/les_newsletters/10_aujourd_hui_nous_vous_connaissons_mieux

Designing for : ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

User interface in renting bikes ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Quite established. Just have to choose which system is suitable for NTU, and make it as quick and convenient as possible. Like a one or two step procedure. Just insert card into bicycle and ride into the sunset. No need for a separate control station.

User interface in parking bike after use ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Also quite established, but in some systems the electronic indicator is forgotten by the user. A more physical locking action, something analog could serve as better feedback. Also, can be improved by providing the user with information about duration of use, charges, etc. Email or text message receipt Audio + visual signal

How user can lock the bike at a public place ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Giving users a clear, easy and effective way to lock their bikes. Are surveillance cameras and threats of huge fines good enough deterrents in Singapore?

A cohesive aesthetic/identity ,[object Object],[object Object],One idea was to allow students to design the surface graphics of the bicycle. Study current youth fashion/trends. E.g. pop culture, Japanese culture etc. Creating a hip university culture/look, that distinguishes it from other plain and boring university bike share programs. Also, look at other sleek transport design: motorbikes, scooters, skateboards

How user uses the bicycle and its components ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Comfort Unisex bikes suitable for all, 14 years and up Simple and quick three gear change Adjustable cushioned saddle Large capacity durable front basket Non-slip handlebars Anti-splash front and rear mud guards Safety Automatic rear and front lights, operating day and night Reflective strips on wheels and pedals Front and rear brakes integrated in wheel hubs Chain guard Easy to use bike rest Finger touch bell Anti Theft Lock

Sustainable Design ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Materials user & recycling can borrow from current bike programs that use bikes that are 99% recyclable. Easy maintenance – special tools used by staff for disassembly Solar power docking stations Information at the stations about the sustainability of the bikes & infrastructure, and cycling in general

Non-Product Design Aspects ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Integration of design with the rest of the surroundings, space-wise and aesthetics-wise Safety during riding is a VERY important aspect though, that influences peoples’ decisions to ride a bike. A small lane for cyclists?

User Scenario ,[object Object]

User Scenario ,[object Object],[object Object]

User Scenario ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Adjust the saddle to waist level; you should be able to put your feet on the ground. Check the brakes, tires , (gears?) and lighting are working.

User Scenario ,[object Object],Should try riding around campus on my bike to see how easy it is to ride over the slopes, and between the main nodes of human activity.
