Gender and used/preferred differences of bicycle routes, parking, intersection signals, and bicycle type: Professional middle class preferences in Hangzhou, China

History, risk, infrastructure: perspectives on bicycling in the Netherlands and the UK

“…The following speaker was Mr Tom Godefrooij of the Dutch Bicycling Embassy (Godefrooij, 2013), who emphasised the much broader appeal of segregated cycling, especially for children, women and elderly people. Preference for segregation has been further supported by results from China, reported in this journal (Lusk, 2014).…”

Quantifying the role of disturbances and speeds on separated bicycle facilities

“…Using stated-preference (SP) surveys (Abraham et al 2002;Sener, Eluru, and Bhat 2009;Stinson and Bhat 2005;Krizek and Roland 2005;Tilahun, Levinson, and Krizek 2007), revealed-preference (RP) surveys (Broach, Dill, and Gliebe 2012;Menghini et al 2010;Hood, Sall, and Charlton 2011), and accident data (Aultman-Hall and Hall 1998;Lusk et al 2011Lusk et al , 2013Lusk, Wen, and Zhou 2014), the research base generally suggests that dedicated facilities help spur levels of cycling (Schweizer and Rupi, 2014), provide safety benefits (perceived and real), and advance a more pleasurable cycling experience.…”

Women on wheels: Gender and cycling in Solo, Indonesia

“…Women are generally found to have less access to private motorized vehicles, rely more heavily on public transportation and walking, and make more chained trips, comprising multiple destinations at shorter distances and non‐standard times for varying purposes (Gossen & Purvis, ; Krizek et al ., ; Kunieda & Gauthier, ; Emond et al ., ). Common explanatory factors for lower rates of cycling among women include: (i) labour market positions, (ii) household roles and responsibilities, (iii) life stages, (iv) gender‐based perceptions and valorization of safety and risk, (v) cultural norms, (vi) physical barriers such as urban spatial structures which segregate housing from other land uses, (vii) weather and topographical conditions and (viii) lacking public transportation systems (McGuckin & Nakamoto, ; Kunieda & Gauthier, ; Garrard et al ., ; Krizek et al ., ; Lusk et al ., ). Though still an emerging area of research, studies of women in developing countries find pronounced mobility challenges related to lower levels of income, tenuous social and legal statuses, strained infrastructural conditions resulting from rapid urbanization (including lacking public transportation options), cultural and religious norms, and threats of harassment and violence in public spaces (Astrop, ; Peters, ; Rosenbloom & Plessis‐Fraissard, ; Tran & Schlyter, ).…”
