Introduction

A bike share system is a service in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a short term basis for price. Cycling in daily mobility can reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emission[1] and traffic congestion[2].

More than 500 cities in 49 countries host advanced bike-sharing programs, with a combined fleet of over 500,00 bicycles today[3]. Metro bike share system in Los Angeles contains 41,132 users, 567,890 total trips and 1,709,619 emissions reduced[4].

Our study will implement some geo-visualization techniques and analysis
procedures to visualize and analyze the spatio-temporal patterns of bike sharing behavior. This study would help the bike share company to adjust bike number from different bike stations and seasonal change; make profit from pass holder type analysis.
