In order to study the potential benefits of shared bicycles to office workers in park leisure,urban exploration,outdoor exercise and accompanying travel with relatives and friends,data of 868 users of shared bicycles were collected by face-to-face questionnaire survey in 25 scattered locations in Shenzhen and the independent sample t-test,correlation coefficient analysis of Pearson and chi-square independence test were carried out by SPSS software.The results showed that shared bicycles increased the frequency of going to the park for nearly 45% of the respondents,prolonged the park stay time for nearly 1/2 of the respondents,and promoted the park leisure.Nearly 30% of the respondents have traveled to strange urban areas by shared bicycles,which shows that shared bicycles can promote office workers to explore urban space.Nearly 1/2 of the respondents rode shared bicycles for sports,and nearly 1/2 of the respondents increased the frequency of traveling with their relatives and friends due to shared bicycles.Moreover,the promoting benefits of urban leisure were often more significant in the relatively vulnerable groups (women,the elderly,the low educated,the renters and the people without private cars),so shared bicycles helps to improve the quality of leisure life of the vulnerable groups,thus promoting social equity.
