About
Mapping the global footprint of micro-mobility reveals the expansion of sustainable transport across urban centres. These records provide a thorough registry of bike-sharing networks worldwide, identifying the specific companies operating them and their precise geographic locations. By documenting the infrastructure of over 600 unique networks, the collection serves as a foundational resource for evaluating the accessibility and reach of alternative transit systems in modern cities.
Columns
- id: A unique identifier assigned to each specific bike-sharing network.
- name: The official name of the cycling network.
- company: The organisation or entity associated with the operation of the network.
- href: The specific API endpoint used for accessing detailed network data.
- location.city: The city or urban area where the cycling network is established.
- location.country: The two-letter country code representing the network's location.
- location.latitude: The northern or southern geographic coordinates for the network location.
- location.longitude: The eastern or western geographic coordinates for the network location.
- source: The URL or primary link providing information about the specific network.
Distribution
The information is delivered in a CSV file titled
bike.csv with a compact file size of 95.37 kB. It consists of 636 individual records, with identification and location fields maintaining a 100% validity rate. The file structure encompasses 10 to 19 columns and has achieved a perfect usability score of 10.00.Usage
This registry is ideal for performing large-scale geographical analyses and mapping the spatial distribution of cycling infrastructure across different countries. Researchers can use the data to conduct comparative studies between cities, assessing the prevalence of specific operators like Nextbike or Comunicare. It also provides a valuable starting point for developers building transit applications that require network API endpoints for real-time location-based services.
Coverage
The geographic scope is worldwide, encompassing 49 unique countries and 625 cities. There is a notable concentration of records in Europe, particularly within Italy (20%) and Germany (14%). The temporal aspect represents a fixed snapshot of the global network, as the dataset is not expected to receive future updates.

Who Can Use It
Urban planners can leverage these coordinates to study the density of micro-mobility options in relation to existing public transport hubs. Academic researchers might utilise the operator data to analyse market trends and competition in the bike-sharing sector. Additionally, software engineers and GIS specialists can use the structured location data to create visualisations or integrate network information into smart-city platforms.
