Gendered perceptions of cycling safety and on-street bicycle infrastructure: Bridging the gap

Matthew Graystone et al.

Summary: Female cyclists are more concerned about safety, particularly regarding verbal abuse/bullying and interactions with drivers, as opposed to fear of collision and injury. Gendered differences in concerns about being bullied or verbally abused exist regardless of the presence of bicycle infrastructure.

Riding the wave: Predicting the use of the bike-sharing system in Barcelona before and during COVID-19

Xavier Bustamante et al.

Summary: To promote sustainable development and overcome the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, cities worldwide have established bike-sharing systems. This study uses probabilistic machine learning and a quasi-experimental research design to identify the key factors influencing the use of bike-sharing systems during COVID-19. The study reveals that factors such as bike-related infrastructure, trip distance, and neighborhood income levels are important predictors. Additionally, the relevance of these factors has generally decreased during the pandemic, indicating a shift in societal behavior.

Why male adolescent bicyclists perform risky stunts? A qualitative study

Fatemeh Saber et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the factors contributing to risky stunts among male adolescent bicyclists in Iran. The findings revealed that personal factors, social norms and beliefs, and environmental conditions all influenced their engagement in risky stunts. Additionally, the study identified perceived superiority and police non-deterrent reactions as new facilitators to these stunts.

Sociopsychological factors associated with the adoption and usage of electric micromobility. A literature review

Alexandra Bretones et al.

Summary: This paper aims to identify the main sociopsychological factors influencing individuals' intention to adopt electric micromobility. The study classifies these factors into functional and non-functional categories and finds that non-functional factors have a greater influence on users, with users perceiving electric micromobility as socially beneficial and contributing to improved livability and choice diversity. The findings contribute to improving strategies and policies to support the adoption of electric micromobility.

'I wouldn't take the risk of the attention, you know? Just a lone girl biking': examining the gendered and classed embodied experiences of cycling

Lea Ravensbergen

Summary: This paper examines the embodied experience of bicycling using theories of performativity and materiality. It finds that social norms play a role in regulating gendered and classed cycling bodies, and that cycling can be an intense experience. Additionally, cycling increases people's awareness of their materiality.

Is the built-environment at origin, on route, and at destination associated with bicycle commuting? A gender-informed approach

Diana Higuera-Mendieta et al.

Summary: This study found limited evidence on gender differences and location-specific built-environment factors associated with bicycling in Latin American cities. The study analyzed the gender-specific trend of the standardized number of bicycle commuters in Bogotá from 2005 to 2017, and assessed various socio-demographic and built-environment factors associated with bicycle commuting, stratified by gender. The study concluded that different factors such as household motor vehicle ownership, terrain slope, distance, bike path availability, and socioeconomic status played different roles in bicycle commuting by gender and trip stages.

Rule compliance and desire lines in Barcelona's cycling network

Adam Lind et al.

Summary: The study found a high compliance rate of cyclists at intersections, with rule incompliance being influenced by factors such as gender, direction of bike lanes, traffic signals, and turning. Incompliant behavior was driven by the need for uninterrupted travel. Suggestions for improving intersection design and safety include prioritizing unidirectional bike lanes and optimizing traffic lights.

Gender differences in bicycle sharing system usage in the city of Valencia

Maite Pellicer-Chenoll et al.

Summary: The study found that in the city of Valencia, women use BSS at a lower frequency than men during weekdays, and do not use the peripheral areas of the city at night. Gender differences in usage and space occupation patterns observed provide useful information for operating companies and city transport policy-makers.

Examining spatio-temporal mobility patterns of bike-sharing systems: the case of BiciMAD (Madrid)

Ruben Talavera-Garcia et al.

Summary: This study combines spatial and temporal analysis to explore the cycling flow of the Madrid Bike-Sharing System, BiciMAD, using over 21 million GPS records and various maps. It reveals cycling mobility patterns across the city on three different temporal scales and provides insights into season-dependent demand. The study also uncovers the different spatio-temporal travel patterns of frequent users and occasional users.

Investigating conflict behaviours and characteristics in shared space for pedestrians, conventional bicycles and e-bikes

Xinyu Liang et al.

Summary: Shared spaces are becoming more popular worldwide, with pedestrians, conventional bicycles, and e-bikes coexisting. There is a positive relationship between traffic volume and conflict number, but an inverse relationship between traffic ratios and conflict ratios. Emergency actions such as swerving, decelerating, and accelerating were most common, with swerving particularly prevalent in slight conflicts. In serious conflicts, conventional bicycles and e-bikes exhibited low-speed characteristics compared to slight conflicts. High traffic volume and complexity were identified as main factors affecting conflicts. Conflict coefficient was proposed as a measure for shared-space safety. Conflicts and crashes between e-bikes and pedestrians were identified as high-occurrence events, with pedestrians at a higher risk of injury.

Precarious entitlement to public space & utility cycling in Dublin

Robert Egan et al.

Summary: Research on cycling mobilities compared to driving mobilities reveals that spatial entitlement is a central theme, leading to the phenomenon of 'precarious entitlement' for cyclists in Dublin, which includes insecure space, spatial disregard, and police neglect. This category offers a theoretical explanation for cycling experiences in Dublin and highlights a unique structural vulnerability and issue of 'misrecognition' utility cyclists may encounter.
