Public bicycle-sharing programs have received increasing attention as a sustainable transport alternative to address the challenges of global motorization and climate change. Bikesharing, a shared use of a bicycle fleet, is presumed to contribute to a healthy lifestyle, energy savings, and efficiency. However, the way bikesharing is planned and operated presents major challenges to its users. Yet, limited scholarly work addresses its social dimension, particularly the extent to which specific subgroups are transport-disadvantaged. Through a systematic literature review, and by using the socio-ecological model as its analytical framework, this paper aims to address: the mobility/accessibility challenges, barriers/facilitators, and factors affecting the decisionmaking process of women bikesharer/cyclist. By generating a better understanding of how transport affects the travel behaviour of women and how women are likely to experience transport disadvantages in the use and uptake of bikesharing calls for increased women's involvement in transportation policy-making and leadership.
