This study proposes an urban Bikeability Index (BI) to assess and prioritise bicycle
infrastructure investments, and in turn, improve accessibility for cyclists. The contribution of …

Background Many cities are putting cycling at the centre of their sustainable transportation
policies after the COVID pandemic. Cycling is seen as a desirable mode of transport in …

A fully separated bicycle network from vehicular traffic is not realistic even for the most
bicycle-friendly cities. Thus, all around the world urban cycling entails switching between …

previous research on the quality of bicycle travel assessed bicycle suitability, that is, the …

Studies evaluating bikeability usually compute spatial indicators shaping cycling conditions
and conflate them in a quantitative index. Much research involves site visits or conventional …

Background: Cycling as a means of transport contributes to public health in terms of
increasing the physical activity behaviour and reducing air pollution. In comparison to …

This study proposes a method that can help in identifying potential locations for
improvements of cycling infrastructures. It addresses the need for simple and effective …

Previous studies on bikeability/cycling index have explored factors that influence cycling in
cities, and developed indicators to characterize a bicycle-friendly environment. However …

Providing a sufficiently appropriate route environment is crucial to ensuring fair and safe
biking, thus encouraging cycling as a sustainable mode of transport. At the same time, better …
