Different research on the free-floating bike share systems showed that bikes were usually available in all Seattle neighborhoods across economic, racial and ethnic lines. However, more bikes were located in more-advantaged neighborhoods.

"There's nowhere that was systematically ignored during the first six months of the program," said Stephen J. Mooney, an epidemiologist at the Harborview Injury Prevention & Research Center and professor at the UW's School of Public Health. He's the lead author of both studies.
