Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of transportation infrastructure on bicycling injuries and crashes: a review of the literature.
TL;DR: Evidence is beginning to accumulate that purpose-built bicycle-specific facilities reduce crashes and injuries among cyclists, providing the basis for initial transportation engineering guidelines for cyclist safety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motivators and deterrents of bicycling: comparing influences on decisions to ride
TL;DR: In a survey of 1,402 current and potential cyclists in Metro Vancouver, 73 motivators and deterrents of cycling were evaluated as discussed by the authors, and the top motivators were: routes away from traffic noise and pollution; routes with beautiful scenery; and paths separated from traffic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Built Environment Influences on Healthy Transportation Choices: Bicycling versus Driving
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the built environment has a significant influence on healthy travel decisions, and spatial context is important, and future research should explicitly consider relevant spatial zones when investigating the relationship between physical activity and urban form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Route Infrastructure and the Risk of Injuries to Bicyclists: A Case-Crossover Study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared cycling injury risks of 14 route types and other route infrastructure features, including cycle tracks and bike lanes, and found that bike lanes had the lowest risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilitarian bicycling : A multilevel analysis of climate and personal influences
TL;DR: Bicycling patterns are associated with individual demographic characteristics and the climate where one lives, and this evidence might be useful to guide policy initiatives for targeted health promotion and transportation infrastructure.
