Attractive infrastructure for everyone? Different preferences for route characteristics among cyclists
2022, Transportation Research Part D: Transport and EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :A strategy attracting children to cycle even more and ensuring a comfortable and safe experience may therefore have long term effects on the mobility behavior of society. Regarding seniors, earlier research finds that they are more likely to be involved in accidents when cycling (Rodgers, 1997). Furthermore, serious injuries occur more often when accidents are sustained in older age (Dai & Dadashova, 2021; Yang, Yang, Smith, & Robert, 2021).

2020, Journal of Transport GeographyCitation Excerpt :Specifically related to roads, special attention can be given to cycling infrastructures. Implementing improved cycling infrastructure significantly contributes to improvements in cycling safety (Pucher and Buehler, 2016), reducing the fear of cycling (Garrard et al., 2008; Winters et al., 2011; Yang and Matthews, 2010) and injuries (Moritz, 1998; Rodgers, 1997). Previous studies found that cyclists' levels of comfort are inversely associated with the proximity to motorized traffic (Chuang et al., 2013; Kim et al., 2007), preferring to ride on separate bike paths (Hunt and Abraham, 2007; Sener et al., 2009; Wardman et al., 2007; Winters et al., 2011), and are opposed to high speed and high traffic volume streets (Misra et al., 2015).
