This article seeks to contribute to the intersection of children's mobility (specifically cycling) by assessing the extent to which emerging socio-technical smart city systems accommodate children's rationalities. In order to do so, it reviews literature on children's mobility, cycling, and participation in design of smart solutions. Through this process, I highlight distributional injustice where children are marginalized in adult-centric cycling discourses, spaces, and smart initiatives. In making this point the review draws attention to the ways in which children are excluded because their more social and playful rationalities of cycling are not recognized in adult/ policy readings of cycling. Linked to this, I show that children's rationalities are othered procedurally in the development of smart solutions because children are either absent, treated as data nodes, or asked to solve pre-defined problems of transport optimization. I conclude by foregrounding four elements that could contribute to what smart(er) cycling might look like from a child's perspective: accommodating a plurality of motives with a particular emphasis on less instrumental and more convivial and playful mobilities; physical and urban infrastructures that emphasize social connection; accounting for the relative absence of technologies in children's lives; seeking to "make children count" in (smart) decision-making processes.

This paper contributes to debates on urban governance and mobility through a case study of the transformation of public bike sharing schemes in Shanghai (China) from fixed/docked (PBSS 1.0) to flexible/dockless (PBSS 2.0). Based upon stakeholder interviews and observations between 2015 and 2017, we use the concept of a dispositive to foreground two related processes. The first is the reformulation of the governmental dispositive that coalesces around PBSS in Shanghai. We show how the relations within the dispositive shift from more hierarchical, bounded, regulated and state-led to those characterised by a more dispersed, disconnected, horizontal and distant set of social relations. Second, we show how this dispositive both produces and is produced by an emergent environmentality that manifests in a fixed territoriality in PBSS 1.0 and a more fluid and deterritorialised digital environmentality in PBSS 2.0. In framing this shift, we demonstrate how PBSS 2.0 produces a new dispositive of urban governmentality where the conduct of users is dispersed through a much less co-ordinated network of actors and technologies. Ultimately we argue that it is no longer possible to separate physical and virtual mobility when trying to understand the internal dynamics and external manifestations of mobility governance, which in our example are characterised by less localised and less hierarchical relationships that are more fluid, voluntary and physically distant.
