研究发现，邻里环境的步行性属性（住宅密度、土地利用组合和街道的连通性）与较高的步行率相关。然而，人们对步行性属性与自行车交通运输之间的关联知之甚少。我们在两种环境下研究了成年人使用自行车进行交通与社区步行适宜性测量之间的关系：自行车使用率较低的澳大利亚城市（阿德莱德）和自行车使用率较高的比利时城市（根特）。阿德莱德和根特分别招募了 2,159 名和 382 名参与者。步行适宜性指数是根据阿德莱德客观测量的数据得出的，而类似的指数是根据根特的感知测量得出的。采用逻辑回归模型来检查自行车使用与不同步行能力水平的关联。与阿德莱德参与者相比，根特的自行车拥有率更高（96% 对 61%），与阿德莱德参与者相比，根特的自行车交通使用率更高（50% 对 14%）。尽管自行车拥有量和使用量存在巨大差异，但在调整相关混杂因素后，居住在适宜步行的社区与两个城市使用自行车进行交通的几率显着较高相关。卫生当局和交通规划者越来越多地倡导建筑环境创新，主要是为了提高步行交通的比例，也应该对自行车的使用产生积极影响。
The walkability attributes of neighborhood environments (residential density, land use mixture, and connectedness of streets) have been found to be associated with higher rates of walking. However, relatively less is known about the associations of walkability attributes with bicycle use for transport. We examined the relationships between adults' bicycle use for transport and measures of neighborhood walkability in two settings: an Australian city (Adelaide) with low rates of bicycle use and a Belgian city (Ghent) with high rates of bicycle use. A total of 2,159 and 382 participants were recruited in Adelaide and Ghent, respectively. A walkability index was derived from objectively measured data in Adelaide, while a similar index was derived from perceived measures in Ghent. Logistic regression models were employed to examine associations of bicycle use with different levels of walkability. There were higher rates of bicycle ownership for Ghent compared to Adelaide participants (96% versus 61%), and there was a higher prevalence of bicycle use for transport for Ghent compared to Adelaide participants (50% vs. 14%). Despite the large differences in bicycle ownership and use, living in a high-walkable neighborhood was associated with significantly higher odds of bicycle use for transport in both cities, after adjusting for relevant confounding factors. Built-environment innovations that are increasingly being advocated by health authorities and transport planners, primarily to promote higher rates of walking for transport, should also impact positively on bicycle use.
