In this paper we analyze bike riding patterns in Almaty by employing the annual data from Almaty Bike system. The main contribution of the paper is explaining the factors effecting bike sharing usage in Almaty. To our knowledge this is the first (albeit preliminary) study to investigate behaviors of bike-sharing users in Kazakhstan using statistical and network analysis methods. The analysis shows that mostly bikes are used no more than 20 minutes, for the most part during the daytime, although the peak use is between 7 and 9 pm, and there is no consistent difference between bike use on weekends and weekdays.
