Abstract

Urban spaces distinctly modulate the mobility patterns of men and women, with new mobility modes manifesting gender differences. In this study, by visualizing bike-sharing mobility patterns in New York City, we reveal significant disparities in cycling usage between males and females. During weekdays, the findings highlight a pattern of male dominance in most areas, particularly in business districts. In some recreational and residential areas, routes with higher proportions of female cyclists are observed. Additionally, weekends experience a surge in the proportion of female cyclists, predominantly in leisure-oriented locations. These findings highlighted the need for urban planning to account for gender differences across space and time to meet diverse mobility needs.
