In order to explore the influencing factors of residents' intention to use bike sharing for low-carbon travel, this study added environmental awareness and habit to the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Based on the structural equation modeling (SEM), the questionnaire data of 322 respondents were empirically analyzed. The results indicated that habit, perceived behavioral control, attitude and environmental awareness had a significant and positive impact on the intention of bike sharing for low-carbon travel. Furthermore, habit posed a powerful indirect effect on the intention of bike sharing via perceived behavioral control and attitude. In addition, the empirical results also validated the rationality of the extended TPB model in examining residents’ low-carbon travel intention with bike sharing. This study enhances the current understanding of bike sharing travel behavior, and provides enlightenment for the government to formulate policies and guide residents to change their travel concepts.
