“…ethnicity) to inform better decision-making and research in cycling. Our findings support the argument that social inclusion through the bicycle (Rodríguez et al, 2017) is possible since data collection mechanisms are implemented, and communication channels are improved to better-understand this population and launch strategies to improve their access to opportunities.…”

“…Research in transport has adopted such methodologies as a recognition that accessibility and the externalities of urban mobility systems are not uniformly distributed across society, placing specific groups at a disadvantage (Kaplan et al, 2014;Ohnmacht et al, 2009;Pereira et al, 2017). In Latin America, a practice-oriented example suggested concepts, indicators, and strategies aiming to position the bicycle as a vehicle to increase urban equality in cities in the region (Rodríguez et al, 2017).…”

In a context of rising awareness for environmental concerns and promotion policies targeting nonmotorized travel as a sustainable mobility solution, the bicycle has increasingly become an attractive transport mode in cities. However, accessibility to opportunities for people who cycle is not necessarily the same across socioeconomically different population segments, and it tends to be further constrained by high costs associated with the travel distance through the road network.This research examines equality in the accessibility to employment and education among cycleuser adults in Bogotá. Using 968 reported bicycle trips with these travel purposes in the 2015 Bogotá Household Travel Survey, we estimate a potential accessibility indicator and horizontal and vertical equality indicators. First, we identify three clusters through the K-prototypes method to classify bicycle commuters based on trip and socioeconomic characteristics, and second, we calculate potential accessibility using GIS-based trip distance decay functions, which is later assessed through equality indices such as Lorenz Curves, Gini index and Palma Ratio. Results show marked differences in potential accessibility to work and study opportunities between and within clusters, where up to 90% of the analyzed population of a cyclists' cluster has access to 30% of the job and study opportunities, indicating social and spatial inequalities produced by the urban structure and individual and household characteristics of regular cyclists. Results can guide in the implementation of accurate transport policies towards more equitable and sustainable transport in cities that are experiencing increases in bicycle ridership.

Highlights Data-informed methodology calculates the level of traffic stress of cyclists. Method scales to massive data sets by coupling a classifier with a predictive model. Methodology tested on the road network of Bogotá (Colombia) Web-enabled dashboard supports policy making and interventions to reduce stress. Number of bicyclists’ collisions per kilometer correlates with higher stress.
