The transport sector produced numerous global greenhouse gas emissions in China. It is important to promote low carbon commuting in China. This paper aims to investigate the determinants of intention and behavior of low-carbon commuting through bicycle-sharing (LCB) in China. Theoretical model and hypotheses are put forward by integrating the theory of planning behavior and theories of value and residual effects. Through structural equation model (SEM), the empirical analysis revealed that residual effect has the largest positive impact on intention of LCB for both males and females. Subjective norms positively affected intention of LCB for males. Attitude towards bicycle-sharing, perceived behavioral control positively affected intention of LCB for females. Intention has higher positive effect on females' behavior of LCB than males'. It is better for government to increase financial subsidies for bicycle-sharing users and producers.
