本研究探讨了一个新兴的自行车城市（澳大利亚布里斯班）和一个成熟的自行车城市（丹麦哥本哈根）在混合交通中骑车人的安全观念和报告行为的差异。感知和报告的行为是从两个城市的骑自行车者中进行的定制设计的网络调查中检索的。引出的项目涉及基础设施布局的感知风险，对交通的恐惧，分心时骑自行车，使用安全装备，由于感觉不安全而避免骑自行车，以及避免在混合交通条件下骑自行车。采用结构方程模型对数据进行分析。结果表明，与哥本哈根的骑自行车者相比，布里斯班的骑自行车者认为混合交通基础设施布局不太安全，更害怕交通，更有可能采取避免骑自行车作为应对策略。研究结果还显示，哥本哈根的骑车者倾向于少戴头盔，在分心的情况下骑得更多。(C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This study explores the differences in safety perceptions and reported behavior of cyclists in mixed traffic between an emerging cycling city (Brisbane, Australia) and an established cycling city (Copenhagen, Denmark). Perceptions and reported behavior were retrieved from a custom-designed web-based survey administered among cyclists in the two cities. Elicited items concerned perceived risk of infrastructure layouts, fear of traffic, cycling while distracted, use of safety gear, cycling avoidance due to feeling unsafe, and avoidance to cycle in mixed traffic conditions. The data were analyzed with structural equation models. Results show that, in comparison with cyclists in Copenhagen, cyclists in Brisbane perceive mixed traffic infrastructure layouts as less safe, feel more fear of traffic, and are more likely to adopt cycling avoidance as a coping strategy. Results also show that cyclists in Copenhagen tend to use less helmets and to cycle more while being distracted. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
