Welche Barrieren und Hindernisse haben Nicht-Radfahrende in Deutschland? Eine vergleichende Betrachtung und Typisierung

Abstract

Der Nationale Radverkehrsplan 2020 des Bundesministeriums für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur (BMVI) hält eine Erhöhung des Fahrrads am modal split (bezogen auf die zurückgelegten Wege) von 11 % im Jahr 2017 auf 15 % bis 2020 für möglich. Trotz diverser Maßnahmen der Radverkehrsförderung besonders in Städten scheint das Ziel nicht mehr erreichbar. Interessanterweise haben jedoch im Rahmen der staatlichen Radverkehrsförderung die Nicht-Radfahrenden als sehr große Gruppe mit beträchtlichem Aktivierungspotenzial bisher wenig Beachtung erfahren. Der Artikel geht deshalb folgenden Fragen auf den Grund: Wer sind die Nicht-Radfahrenden, welche unterschiedlichen Typen können identifiziert werden und was unterscheidet sie von den Rad-Fahrenden? Und was genau hindert diese Menschen daran, das Fahrrad zu nutzen? Schlüsselwörter

Innovations in Transport

“…For example, recent research in Germany on reasons for people cycling (or not) reveals how cycling as a social-material practice is contingent upon favourable social conditions (e.g. parents and peers who cycle, cultural recognition of cycling as a viable mode of transport) as well as (infra)structural factors that encourage cycling (Mahne-Bieder et al, 2020;Driller et al, 2020). Few of these can be directly influenced by people making the 'right choices'.…”

“…Blind spots also remain in relation to specific life events, for example regarding the impact of health events, accidents and 'near misses' on mobility practices (cf. Rau et al, 2020;Mahne-Bieder et al, 2020), complementing the effects of more general changes in health status over the life course. Related to this, investigations are urgently needed into the 'sphere of change' that surrounds life events where changes in mobility practices may occur both prior to and well after the event, as well as the potential of these spheres of change for transport innovations.…”
