Cycling as a Part of Daily Life: A Review of Health Perspectives

Value of chapter – The value of the chapter rests in its emphasis on the need to treat cycling as a distinct transport mode and, consequentially, planning and engineering needs to be undertaken in a way conducive to providing the basic necessary infrastructure for such a distinct mode.

User Behaviour Analysis of the Public Bike System in Taipei

Governments around Australia are in the process of promoting cycling as both a sustainable form of transport that can be a viable alternative to the motor vehicle, particularly for shorter trips, and as a healthy recreational pursuit that can play an important role in addressing the growing problem of obesity and illnesses associated with a sedentary lifestyle in the community. As part of this initiative, the development of effective and efficient infrastructure for bicycles is seen as a vital step for achieving higher participation rates.
A major component of the nation’s bicycle infrastructure is the growing networks of paved paths and natural surface trails located in both urban and regional areas. A well-designed path or trail must meet agreed standards related to safety and function and, in order to achieve maximum usage, it must also create a desirable riding experience. While requirements for safety and function are well understood by path and trail planners, little empirical information has been produced to enable these planning professionals to understand the elements that impact upon an individual’s riding experience and to then incorporate them into the design process.
Accordingly, the overall aim of this research was to investigate how the aesthetic, cultural and other experiential design aspects of bicycle paths and trails can enhance the perceived riding experience. A secondary objective of the project involved a determination of the procedural factors guiding the local path and trail design protocols and process. A third objective was to gain an insight into the most effective method of communicating the benefits of these riding environments to important target groups.
Following the establishment of a theoretical framework incorporating the psychophysical nature of cycling, the effect of landscape and current design practices, the research progressed through several stages beginning with an autoethnography examining the researcher’s extensive experience in the promotion of cycling in Western Australia, augmented by in-depth discussions with leading key informants. This was followed by a mix of quantitative and qualitative methodology to gauge perception of various elements of in-situ and photo-surrogate path-riding environments among the general population in Perth, Western Australia.
The findings indicate that there are specific experiential design aspects related to the riding environment, surrounding landscape or associated features that can directly influence a person’s decision to use a particular path, trail or route. The research also identified preferred communication strategies and found deficiencies in the current design process that if addressed, could lead to the development of better received and patronised riding environments.
It is intended that the outcome of this research will be to provide a design framework to guide path and trail planners in the development of facilities that enhance the overall riding experience. A number of agencies responsible for developing bicycle…

Improving the aesthetic and other experiential design aspects of bicycle paths in Western Australia

espanolPara determinar los aspectos mas relevantes en el planeamiento de redes cicloviarias, se utilizo un cuestionario respondido por ciclistas que realizan desplazamientos utilitarios (por motivos de trabajo y/o estudio) en la ciudad de Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo. En el procesamiento de las respuestas, para representar el perfil demografico de los encuestados se aplico un analisis estadistico descriptivo, ademas de posteriores comparaciones con la muestra de ciclistas de la Encuesta Origen-Destino realizada en 2011 en la misma ciudad. Tambien se llevaron a cabo pruebas de hipotesis (inferenciales) para comprobar si habia diferencias estadisticamente significativas de opinion, sobre la base de las caracteristicas de los perfiles identificados, y confrontacion de los resultados obtenidos con la informacion recopilada de la revision bibliografica. La prioridad de los ciclistas de la muestra es llegar tan pronto como sea posible a sus destinos por caminos iluminados y seguros, ademas de pedalear lo minimamente necesario, de preferencia por vias con pavimento en buen estado. EnglishFor the determination of the most relevant aspects of Bicycle-Network Planning, a questionnaire regarding utilitarian trips (work and/or study related reasons) was answered by cyclists in the City of Sao Jose dos Campos. For the processing of responses, descriptive statistical analyses were conducted to represent sociodemographic profiles and posterior comparisons with the sample of cyclists from the Origin-Destination research held in 2011 for the same city. A hypothesis testing (inferential statistics) was also completed to verify the existence of significant opinion differences, due to the characteristics of the identified profiles, and a confrontation between the final results and the information gathered during the bibliographic review. The priority of the cyclists from the sample is to arrive as soon as possible to their destination through illuminated and safe paths, alongside pedaling the necessary minimum, preferably on streets with good pavement conditions. portuguesPara determinacao dos aspectos mais relevantes no planejamento de redes cicloviarias, um questionario foi respondido por ciclistas em viagens utilitarias (por motivo de trabalho e/ou estudo) na cidade de Sao Jose dos Campos-sp.

A prioridade dos ciclistas da amostra e chegar o mais rapidamente possivel a seus destinos, por caminhos iluminados e seguros, alem de pedalar o minimamente necessario, preferencialmente por vias com pavimento em bom estado de conservacao.

Creating a safe and more pleasant environment for walking and cycling is considered to be a key means of promoting and increasing transport by these modes. It was identified that New Zealand has limited walking and cycling expertise and lacks guidance on best practice in this area. The Pedestrian and Cyclist Best Practice Guidelines Project aims to fill this void. One deliverable from this project is the New Zealand Cycle network and route planning guide, which describes the principles and planning process required to develop an appropriate environment for cycling. It also provides guidance on the techniques and tools used in cycle planning. A collaborative approach was used to develop the guide, utilising the expertise of cycle planners and advocates in a stakeholder committee to oversee the project. An international literature review provided the knowledge base on which the guide was developed, and input from international experts in cycle planning ensured the guide was consistent with world�s best practice.
