Objective.在自行车交通方式比例较低的国家，女性骑自行车出行的可能性大大低于男性。我们调查了女性通勤骑自行车者是否更有可能使用与机动车交通分开的自行车路线。2004年2月，在澳大利亚墨尔本中心商务区（CBD）7.4 km半径范围内的15个地点（包括非公路自行车道、公路车道和无自行车设施的道路），在上下班高峰期对骑车者进行了调查。共观察骑单车人士6589名，其中男性5229名（79.4%），女性1360名（20.6%）。在调整了自行车设施与CBD的距离后，女性倾向于使用越野路径，而不是没有自行车设施的道路（比值比[OR]=1.43，95%置信区间[CI]：1.12，1.83）或有自行车道的道路（OR=1.34，95% CI：1.03，1.75）。结论：与风险规避的性别差异一致，女性通勤骑自行车者更喜欢使用与机动车交通最大隔离的路线。改善自行车道和自行车道等形式的自行车基础设施，使其与机动车交通高度分离，对于增加妇女等代表性不足的人口群体的交通自行车可能很重要。(C)2007年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Objective. Females are substantially less likely than males to cycle for transport in countries with low bicycle transport mode share. We investigated whether female commuter cyclists were more likely to use bicycle routes that provide separation from motor vehicle traffic.Methods. Census of cyclists observed at 15 locations (including off-road bicycle paths, on-road lanes and roads with no bicycle facilities) within a 7.4 kin radius of the central business district (CBD) of Melbourne, Australia, during peak commuting times in February 2004.Results. 6589 cyclists were observed, comprising 5229 males (79.4%) and 1360 females (20.6%). After adjustment for distance of the bicycle facility from the CBD, females showed a preference for using off-road paths rather than roads with no bicycle facilities (odds ratio [OR]=1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12, 1.83), or roads with on-road bicycle lanes (OR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.75). Conclusions.Consistent with gender differences in risk aversion, female commuter cyclists preferred to use routes with maximum separation from motorized traffic. Improved cycling infrastructure in the form of bicycle paths and lanes that provide a high degree of separation from motor traffic is likely to be important for increasing transportation cycling amongst under-represented population groups such as women.
