Resumen
Faced with the cities problems generated by the excess of cars there is a growing need for new
strategies for urban displacement. In this context, shared bikes are gaining popularity in cities
around the world. The City Hall of Passo Fundo/RS recently implemented a system "Passo Fundo
Goes by Bicycle” aiming to increase the city sustainability. This work aims to characterize the users
of the system and know the displacement patterns, besides this goal, it seeks to understand their
perspective about the service offered, identifying their motivations and difficulties. The methodology
used was the use of Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) techniques, with application of
questionnaires in 100 users. The results brought important discoveries, such as the significant
substitution of motorized means by bycicle and the necessity to expand the bike lane existing in the
city. The final considerations identify "Passo Fundo Goes by Bicycle " as an important contributor
to local sustainability.
