低自行车成熟度（LCM）城市是指自行车模式份额小，自行车基础设施少的城市。尽管公众对骑自行车作为出行方式的兴趣越来越大，但LCM城市在西方世界仍然很普遍，并且很少有研究表明，在这种类型的城市中，哪些障碍以及导致人们骑自行车的原因仍然在变化。本研究探讨在里斯本骑自行车的动机和阻碍因素（葡萄牙），一个城市的自行车模式的份额低于1%，并比较了骑自行车的人和非骑自行车的人之间的感知障碍，以及触发和激励开始骑自行车之间的相同群体。（n = 1079）表明，这两个群体认为有关的安全，体力劳动，缺乏一个安全的自行车网络，自行车所有权的重要障碍，采取骑自行车在里斯本的看法的问题。我们的结论是，非骑自行车的人的感知障碍是类似的障碍骑自行车的人之前，他们改变行为。相比之下，促使骑自行车的人开始骑自行车的自我报告的触发因素与非骑自行车的人对什么会或可能改变他们的行为的期望并不相似。然而，非骑自行车者所陈述的预期动机与他们所感知的障碍是一致的，这些障碍更多地以社区为导向，与个人兴趣或需求关系不大。我们分析了不同世代骑自行车的触发因素，并考虑了促进骑自行车的具体公共政策和基础设施投资。触发器随时间而变化，他们也应该改变城市过渡到更高的自行车成熟度levels.This研究和结论可以支持政策的设计，以提高在LCM城市的骑自行车水平，通过承认潜在的新的骑自行车的障碍和动机，并从现有的骑自行车的学习。
Cities with low cycling maturity (LCM) are cities with a small cycling modal share and little cycling infrastructure. Despite the increasing public interest in cycling as travel mode, LCM cities are still prevalent in the western world, and few research has been developed on which are the barriers and what lead people to bicycle in this type of cities, that still are changing. This research explores the motivators and deterrents to bicycle in Lisbon (Portugal), a city with a cycling modal share below 1%, and compares the perceived barriers to cycling between cyclists and non-cyclists, as well as the triggers and motivators to start cycling between the same groups.Results from a survey (n = 1079) showed that both groups considered the issues related to the perception of safety, physical effort, the lack of a safe cycling network, and bicycle ownership as important barriers to take up cycling in Lisbon. We conclude that non-cyclists' perceived barriers are similar to the barriers cyclists had before they changed behavior. In contrast, the self-reported triggers that induced cyclists to take up cycling are not similar to the expectations that noncyclists have of what would, or could, change their behavior. Nevertheless, the expected motivators stated by non-cyclists are consistent with their perceived barriers, which are more community-oriented and not so much related to personal interests or needs. We analyzed the triggers for cycling for different generations of cyclists, taking into consideration specific public policies and infrastructure investments that promote bicycling. Triggers vary over time, and they should also change as cities transition to higher cycling maturity levels.This research and conclusions may support the design of policies in order to increase cycling levels in LCM cities by acknowledging the barriers and motivations of potential new cyclists and learn from current cyclists.
