What is the best way to promote cycling? A systematic review and meta-analysis

Active travel infrastructure design and implementation: Insights from behavioral science

“…A systematic review of 39 interventions to increase cycling suggested that adding facilities, such as secure parking facilities, can have relatively large effects on use of cycle lanes (Doğru et al, 2021; see also Egan et al, 2022; Hamre & Buehler, 2014; Hunt & Abraham, 2007). Other reviews have suggested that secure parking facilities can help to address the gender and age gap in cycling (Goel et al, 2022; Tilahun et al, 2007).…”

Cross-culturally approaching the cycling behaviour questionnaire (CBQ): Evidence from 19 countries

“…Decades of applied research endorses the assumption that active transportation is, perhaps, the best way to harmonize daily life demands, mental and physical health needs and sustainability challenges in urban scenarios (Dogru, Webb & Norman, 2021;Green, Sakuls & Levitt, 2021). Accordingly, and surprisingly enhanced by the need for social distancing that the recent COVID-19 pandemic has supposed worldwide, cycling keeps growing in many cities (Buehler & Pucher, 2021).…”

“…During the last decade, different scientific initiatives have aimed to approach the safety of road users from a behavioural perspective, considering that a better understanding of their road behaviour could be an appropriate starting point to develop interventions with a higher user and context-related knowledge (Vuori, 2011). Indeed, a recent systematic review found that intervention strategies focused on improving cyclists' behavioral issues tend to be the most effective, even over those improving infrastructures or physical environments (Dogru, Webb & Norman, 2021). In other words, a greater understanding of users' behavioral features could be expected to help depict the influence of these behaviors on certain safety outcomes, making it possible to develop more effective actions aimed at preventing crashes, injuries and fatalities involving them (Beck et al, 2016;Prati et al, 2017;Useche, Alonso, Montoro & Esteban, 2018c).…”
