Facilitating bicycle commuting beyond short distances: insights from existing literature

Individual and environmental bicycling determinants during a pandemic

“…Similarly, e-bike usage was predictive of bicycle commuting, but shared bicycle usage was not predictive. This finding suggests e-bikes could facilitate functional travel by bicycle—a finding consistent with existing literature ( Ling et al, 2017 ; Banerjee et al, 2022 ). The only policy predictive of bicycle commuting was restricting certain streets to local traffic.…”

Spatial Heterogeneity in the Nonlinear Impact of Built Environment on Commuting Time of Active Users: A Gradient Boosting Regression Tree Approach

“…Te low prevalence of active commuting can be attributed in part to urbanization's increasing average commute distance [4,5]. Longer trip distances imply that active commuters will spend more time on the road and thus have less life satisfaction.…”

“…Despite the fact that active mode commuting generates positive utilities such as a healthenhancing efect, commuters prefer to shorten it due to time budgets [6]. Active transportation, particularly cycling, can be used for longer distance trips if the time cost of commuting by active modes is appropriately reduced [4]. As a result, it is critical to investigate factors that infuence the commuting time of active users.…”

Cross-culturally approaching the cycling behaviour questionnaire (CBQ): Evidence from 19 countries

“…However, risky behaviours of both cyclists and other road users remain a key issue that endangers riding safety and security (de Hartog, Boogaard, Nijland & Hoek, 2010; Kummeneje & Rundmo, 2020). Previous studies have also highlighted that, although cycling is overall highly accepted as a healthy means of transport with a beneficial value for mobility, sustainability and users' economy (Banerjee, Łukawska, Jensen & Haustein, 2021;Handy, van Wee & Kroesen, 2014), individual willingness to cycle can decrease for different reasons. Some of these issues commonly found in the literature are: difficult weather conditions (Iwińska et al, 2018), road conflicts and near misses with other users, especially drivers (Aldred, 2016;Møller & Haustein, 2017), poor infrastructures and/or lack of separation from motor traffic (Aldred et al, 2017), helmet-related constraints (Pucher & Buehler, 2007;Walker, 2007), and urban insecurity (Useche et al, 2019c).…”
