Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic situation has a very significant impact on urban mobility, as evidenced by fundamental changes in passengers’ behavior. In many cases, passengers have switched to other modes of transport to minimize the risk of infection (particularly cycling and walking). This paper aims to point out the analysis results of the impacts of a bike-sharing system in the city of Košice before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this paper describes an analysis of the current state of bike-sharing in the Slovak Republic. We have stated a timeline of significant dates related to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 had a significant impact on people’s mobility and bike-sharing, as evidenced by the graphs and results in this paper.

Summary
The car is the most commonly used means of transportation. This often leads to major problems in cities, such as congestion, emissions, traffic accidents and long delay times. Most large cities address heavy traffic and a lack of parking spaces by investing in the development of public transport and new forms of mobility [2]. One of the most suitable solutions is to switch passengers from cars to public transport vehicles and other transport modes (e.g., walking and cycling). The attractiveness of bike-sharing and public transport can affect passengers and the number of cars on the road network. It is possible to increase passengers traveling via public transportation by upgrading transport vehicles; sufficient funding is needed to increase its attractiveness and competitiveness [3]
