各个城市地区骑自行车上班的比率差异很大，但造成这些差异的原因尚不清楚。现有文献强调了建筑环境、城市设施和高质量自行车网络在促进自行车运动方面的重要性。然而，很少有研究衡量各自的贡献并权衡这些影响的集体影响程度。我们提出了一个多元模型来反映这些因素对英国 36 个城镇的影响。这些模型揭示了影响骑车上班的复杂力量网络，证实即使在通勤骑车率极高的城市，也不存在单一的灵丹妙药。模型结果强调了联合网络层面干预措施的重要性，例如减少路线迂回和道路压力，这些目标通常是单独追求的。研究结果还强调了非交通方面的重要性，例如通勤路线沿线的土地利用组合和景观设施，以及特定城市自行车文化的作用。他们还强调，通勤自行车的推动者和更广泛的城市学科之间需要更密切的合作，以在城市及其郊区创建低压力路线和支持性建筑环境。
Rates of cycling to work vary significantly from one urban area to another but the reasons for these variations are not well understood. Existing literature highlights the importance of built environments, urban amenities, and high-quality bicycle networks in promoting cycling. However, few studies measure the respective contributions and weigh the collective magnitude of effects of these influences together. We present a multivariate model that reflects the influences of such factors for 36 cities and towns in Britain. The models reveal a complex web of forces shaping cycling to work, confirming that there is no single, silver-bullet factor even in cities with remarkably high commuter cycling. The model results highlight the importance in joining up network level interventions, for instance to reduce both route circuity and on-road stress, which are objectives often being pursued separately. The results also highlight the importance of non-transport aspects such as land use mix and landscape amenities along commuter routes, and the role of city-specific cycling culture. They also underscore the need for closer collaboration between promoters of commuter cycling and wider urban disciplines to create low-stress routes and supportive built environments in cities and their outskirts.
