Riding through the pandemic: Using Strava data to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on spatial patterns of bicycling

Crowdsourced cycling data applications to estimate noise pollution exposure during urban cycling

“…Indirect measurements, such as the temporally detailed Strava data, should be taken advantage of to fill existing knowledge gaps. Indeed, using Strava data to gain insight into cycling is becoming increasingly common in research and transport practices [ 46 , 79 ].…”

“…Further work should consider a seasonal analysis as both cycling patterns and noise levels may vary throughout the year with changes in weather and daylight availability [ 96 ]. Finally, future research could filter subsets of the Strava data, such as by trip purpose or demographics [ 79 ], to investigate whether specific cohorts show more behavioural aversion to high traffic routes in efforts to inform more equitable transport policy and planning.…”

A systematic review of older adults’ travel behaviour and mobility during COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned for sustainable transport provision and healthy aging

“…Seven studies collected data on all ages. Of these, 5 defined 65 and over as older age (Gramsch et al, 2022;Hino & Asami, 2021;Pullano et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2021), 2 chose 55 and over (Fischer et al, 2022;Krauss et al, 2022).Of the studies examining all age ranges, 6 utilised quantitative methodologies while Krauss et al, (ibid), used qualitative methodologies.…”

The role of neighbourhood design in cycling activity during COVID-19: An exploration of the Melbourne experience

“…It may be that COVID-19 created a situation that overcame some of these barriers to cycling for low-income people, women or older adults. For example, because car traffic was extremely low during COVID lockdowns, perhaps women or older adults felt safer riding a bicycle than they might have before lockdowns and increase their cycling rate ( Fischer et al, 2022 ). However, at least one study suggests that COVID-19 has not changed these relationships; a study in the United States found that for most older adults, their cycling habits did not change during COVID and that older adults with a higher income are more likely to report an increase in cycling during COVID-19 ( Gladwin and Duncan, 2022 ).…”
