The public bicycle sharing system in daily usage has turned out effective in increasing bicycling in Hangzhou, which may significantly ease traffic congestion and toxic gas. This paper concentrated on explaining the relationships among bicycle stations, road characteristics, and temporal variations. The study area is the Xiasha education district which is located in the east of Hangzhou. Using the Hangzhou Public Bicycle systems data, we utilized multiple linear regression model to analyze how the road characteristics affect trip productions of public bicycle in different land uses. This paper also analyzed the temporal variations characteristics of hourly trip production for three land uses. The results show that road characteristics significantly affect public bicycle usage. In addition, the temporal variations effects vary obviously across different land uses. Our findings would be helpful for planners and engineers to improve the understanding of public bicycle productions.
