Step2.

Zoom out to the city area, we observe 2 dominant areas that barely have bike stations–Hill District and Squirrel Hill. Besides the obvious topography issue, what are the other reasons that lead to the least resource od bikes? Is this situation also related to public transit system?

Obviously, the 2 least resourced areas are both hilly and not the optimal place for biking. (Overlay with topography) Another analysis from Bike Pittsburgh also shows that the bikes end up piled up at lower elevation stations while the higher elevation ones are left empty. (Stations color-coded by elevation)

Does the physical situation necessarily equal to the needs?
