“…Although there is increasing awareness among decision-makers regarding the importance of bicycles for sustainable transport, this awareness has not permeated to lay citizens. Mirroring trends in other countries, this view seems to be changing as population subgroups have begun adopting an image of bicycling as trendy and a-la-mode (Pardo et al, 2021) despite recurrent concerns about safety. The degree to which such perceived changes in bicycle use accurately reflect overall changes in behaviors across subgroups remains to be examined.…”

IntroductionWe aimed to examine utilitarian bicycle use among adults from 18 large Latin American cities and its association with socio-economic position (education and income) between 2008 and 2018.MethodsData came from yearly cross-sectional surveys collected by the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF). A total of 77,765 survey respondents with complete data were used to estimate multilevel logistic regression models with city as random intercept and year as random slope.ResultsIndividuals with high education and high-income levels had lower odds of using a bicycle compared with participants with lower education and income levels. These associations, however, changed over time with the odds of bicycle use increasing for all groups, especially among individuals with the highest education and income levels.DiscussionOur results confirm the broadening appeal of bicycling across socio-economic positions in several Latin American cities and reinforce the importance of considering policies aimed at supporting and enhancing bicycle travel for all users.
