骑自行车的人是脆弱的道路使用者，道路创伤的发生率高得不成比例，特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。道路使用者的行为是系统的结果，因此研究骑自行车者的行为可以确定整个道路运输系统中的问题，并有助于制定长期的、具有成本效益的解决方案，以促进骑自行车者的安全。本研究旨在探讨不同收入水平和骑自行车流行程度的国家之间骑自行车行为的异同，以及骑自行车者人口统计学特征、行为与交通事故参与之间的关系。它应用自行车行为问卷（CBQ）来衡量三个国家骑自行车者的行为：澳大利亚（高收入，新兴的自行车国家），中国（中等收入，传统的自行车国家）和哥伦比亚（低收入，新兴的自行车国家）。共有1094名骑行者（澳大利亚347名，中国368名，哥伦比亚379名）完成了在线问卷调查，平均年龄为31.8岁。验证性因子分析用于检验CBQ的析因结构。结果表明，三因素CBQ（即交通违规、错误和积极行为）在三个国家都具有稳定和统一的析因结构。在这三个国家中，骑车者报告的积极行为比危险行为更频繁。与其他国家的骑车者相比，澳大利亚骑车者的积极行为更多，违规行为更少，这可能反映了道路环境、政策和执法的差异。男性骑自行车者比女性更倾向于冒险骑行，并且报告了更多的撞车事故。与年轻人相比，年龄较大的骑行者报告的骑行风险更低，撞车事故也更少。骑自行车的人报告说，骑车的频率更高。该研究有助于了解各国骑自行车者的危险/积极行为的普遍程度，并为制定系统对策以改善骑车环境和骑自行车者安全提供见解。
Cyclists are vulnerable road users and face disproportionately high rates of road trauma, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Behaviour of road users is a system outcome, and thus studying cyclist behaviours can identify problems in the whole road transport system and assist in generating long-lasting, cost-effective solutions to promote cyclist safety. This study aims to investigate the similarities and disparities of cycling behaviour among countries with different income levels and cycling prevalence, and the relationships among cyclist demographic characteristics, behaviours and crash involvement. It applies the Cycling Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ) to measure the behaviour of cyclists in three countries: Australia (high-income, emerging cycling country), China (mid-income, traditional cycling country) and Colombia (low-income, emerging cycling country). A total of 1094 cyclists (Australia 347, China 368, and Colombia 379) with a mean age of 31.8 years completed the online questionnaire. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to examine the factorial structure of the CBQ. The results showed that the three-factor CBQ (i.e., Traffic Violations, Errors and Positive Behaviours) had a stable and uniform factorial structure across all three countries. Cyclists reported more frequent positive behaviours than risky behaviours across all three countries. The Australian cyclists reported more positive behaviours and fewer violations than cyclists from the other countries, which is likely to reflect the road environment, policy and enforcement differences. Male cyclists tended to engage in more risky riding than females and reported more crash involvement. Older cyclists reported less risky riding and less involvement in crashes than younger cyclists. Cyclists who rode more often reported more frequent risky riding. The study helps understand the prevalence of risky/positive cyclist behaviours among countries and provides insights for developing systematic countermeasures to improve cycling environment and cyclist safety.
