“…Our results differ from previous research in which this factor was found to be positively related to bicycling ( Cervero, 1996 ; Litman and Steele, 2018 ). This difference might be due to the specific urban configuration of Bogotá in which high land use mix in neighborhoods is common due to the high density of the city ( Rodriguez-Valencia et al, 2019 ). Therefore, the comparisons performed in our analysis are between areas with an already high land use mix against areas with a very-high land use mix ( Cervero et al, 2009 ).…”

“…First, for each geocoded origin and destination, we generated a 500-meter radial buffer. The buffer's size was selected based on what other studies in Bogotá have used to ensure comparability ( Rodriguez-Valencia et al, 2019 ). Second, we estimated the respondent's route by calculating the shortest path between the origin and destination ( Luxen and Vetter, 2011 ) over the road network.…”

“…At the physical level, research examining the connection between built-environment factors such as mixed-use settings ( Cervero, 1996 ; Cervero and Kockelman, 1997 ; Litman and Steele, 2018 ), bicycle facilities ( Heinen et al, 2010 ; Rodriguez-Valencia et al, 2019 ), the presence of bike paths ( Cervero et al, 2009 ; Florindo et al, 2018 ; Oliva et al, 2018 ; Rodriguez-Valencia et al, 2019 ), block size and street density ( Cervero et al, 2009 ; Oliva et al, 2018 ) have found a positive association with bicycling. In contrast, increased public transport accessibility diminishes the likelihood of bicycling ( Cole-Hunter et al, 2015 ; Dickinson et al, 2003 ; Parkin et al, 2008 ; Stinson and Bhat, 2004 ; Timperio et al, 2006 ).…”

“…The available evidence has shown a negative association between bicycle commuting, public transport use ( Cervero et al, 2009 ; Florindo et al, 2018 ; Oliva et al, 2018 ) and motor vehicle ownership ( Cervero et al, 2009 ; Florindo et al, 2018 ; Oliva et al, 2018 ; Rodriguez-Valencia et al, 2019 ). Studies examining how land use mix and the age of the commuter may influence the likelihood of bicycling ( Cervero et al, 2009 ; Florindo et al, 2018 ) are inconclusive.…”

“…Gender differences in factors associated with bicycle commuting and the built-environment influence have limited studies in LAC, and gender is usually limited within existing studies to being a control variable in regression models ( Guerra et al, 2018 ; Preston and McLafferty, 2016 ; Rodriguez-Valencia et al, 2019 ). The bulk of literature on this topic comes from high-income countries, indicating that increasing bicycle share does not necessarily increase women's representation ( Aldred et al, 2016 ; Prati, 2018 ).…”

There is limited evidence on the gender differences and location-specific built-environment factors associated with bicycling in Latin American cities. This study aimed to assess commuting in Bogotá by (1) analyzing the gender-specific trend of the standardized number of bicycle commuters during 2005–2017; and (2) assessing the socio-demographic, community, built-environment and natural factors associated with bicycle commuting stratified by gender. This secondary-data analysis included data from the Household Travel Surveys and Multipurpose Surveys to calculate the number of bicycle commuters per habitant from 2005 to 2017 by gender. We assessed the socio-demographic and built-environment factors fitting generalized additive models stratified by gender using the 2015 Household Travel Survey. Although both women and men increased the standardized number of bicycle commuters, male commuters show a steeper trend than women, evidencing the widening gender gap in bicycle commuting over time. Bicycle commuting was negatively associated with household motor vehicle ownership, steeper terrain slope, longer commute distance, and scarce low-stress roads at trip origin and route. Among women, the availability of bike paths at the trip destination was positively associated with bicycling, while age and being a student were negatively associated with bicycling. Among men, living in areas with the lowest socio-economic status was positively associated with bicycling, while having a driver's license and living close to bus rapid transit stations were negatively associated with bicycling. In conclusion, bicycle and transport infrastructure play different roles in commuting by bicycle by gender and trip stages (origin – route – destination).

Towards an enriched framework of service evaluation for pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure: acknowledging the power of users’ perceptions

et al. 2021

More and more cities worldwide are striving for sustainability and livability. Measuring the service or performance of local-scale spaces for pedestrians and bicyclists to better understand how to provide “walkable” and “bikeable” environments is key in this endeavor to enhance active transportation. These pedestrian and bicycle service or performance indicators, such as Level of Traffic Stress or Level of Service, relate measurable characteristics with a perceived proxy of the performance or service, such as comfort, satisfaction, or quality of service (QoS). The purpose of this study is to propose and validate a framework that integrates user-oriented inputs to the existing traditional supply-oriented variables to explain the QoS in segment roadways in urban environments for active modes. The conceptual framework underlying this study considers the contribution of individual perceptions, in addition to the traditionally considered operational and geometry variables, to explain the perceived QoS of pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure. The framework is tested via two separate and independent surveys for pedestrians and bicyclists. Evidence determined the relative importance of these supply-oriented and user-oriented factors to explain the QoS. The superior explanatory power of the perception variables and in terms of the variables that explain the individuals’ perceived QoS justify the framework for both pedestrians and bicyclists.
