Bike-sharing systems (BSS) and Bike-sharing programs (BSP) have been implemented around the globe in the last decade for its benefits and for changing the paradigm that the car is not the main mode of transportation of urban areas. For that reason, one of the most important elements which needs to be well planned is the location of the bike stations. This research evaluates the location of the bike stations of a BSP in a small city from Colombia, based on the location system’s users. Additionally, two proposals are shown to get a better understanding of how the BSP was planned and consolidated. The results were obtained with a Location-allocation model which assigns each user that is within an impedance value from each station.

Los sistemas para compartir bicicletas (BSS) y programas para compartir bicicletas (BSP) han sido implementados alrededor del mundo en la última década por sus beneficios y con el fin de cambiar el paradigma que el carro no debería ser el principal modo de transporte de las áreas urbanas. Por esta razón, uno de los elementos más importantes que necesita ser bien planeada es la localización de las estaciones de bicicletas. Esta investigación evalúa la localización de las estaciones de bicicleta de un BSS en una ciudad pequeña de Colombia, basado en la localización de los usuarios del sistema. Adicionalmente, se presentan dos propuestas para obtener un mejor entendimiento de cómo el BSP podría ser bien planeado y consolidado. Los resultados fueron obtenidos con un modelo de localización-asignación que asigna cada usuario que está dentro de un valor de impedancia para cada estación.
