        abstract = {Based on bike-sharing systems (BSS) data in Toulouse and Lyon, this study examines the impact of COVID-19 on relevant variables to BSS usage. Our findings indicate significant changes in longer travel distances, which would be explained by users who use the BSS at peak hours. Also, there is evidence of a higher willingness to use BSS under adverse weather conditions (such as rain and wind), less substitution with the public transport system in Lyon, and recovery and even a slight increase of BSS trips for Toulouse and Lyon, respectively. These results suggest long-term changes in user habits, offering an excellent opportunity to develop public policies to promote cycling further.}
