Abstract:

The paper analyses the environmental correlates of cycling based on Danish transportation and urban form micro‐data. The results show that established walkability factors such as density, connectivity and diversity are related to cycling, but access to retail concentrations/centres, public transportation level‐of‐service, as well as competition between walking and cycling depending on environmental features can be added. Attractive conditions for using public transportation or walking are related to less cycling. The findings quantify the effects of urban form on the probability of cycling and the distance cycled. A high probability of cycling generally implies short cycling distances leading to non‐uniform, non‐monotonous relationship between environmental indicators such as walkability and cycling.
