Abstract: Shared mobility solutions can respond to the social inclusion needs of communities, eliminating the costs of owning a private vehicle. In particular, bike -sharing services are an active mobility solution that especially favours sustainability since the bicycle is a transport mode with a low environmental impact and with positive effects on the health of users. However, the accessibility to shared services and the related travel opportunities may be conditioned by some spatial constraints, mainly due to the restrictions on the operational areas of such services.
