政策旨在支持骑自行车作为一种可持续和积极的旅行形式，然而，英国的骑自行车水平仍然很低，并且有关干预措施的证据好坏参半。这里使用来自定性社会学研究的数据来探索文化意义对四个不同英国城市地区的自行车实践的差异。具体来说，我们讨论了具有成熟自行车文化的地方和具有较新自行车文化的地方之间的差异。借鉴实践理论中的概念，我们讨论了自行车文化在这四个地方所发挥的作用，并提出了自行车的含义（包括其与其他社会身份的关联）如何与自行车所必需的材料和能力联系起来。我们的研究强调了交通运输融入地方和国家文化，以及政策制定者在考虑如何改变交通运输实践时认真对待文化的相关需求。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Policy seeks to support cycling as a form of sustainable and active travel, yet, cycling levels in the UK remain low and evidence about interventions mixed. Data from a qualitative sociological study is used here to explore the difference that cultural meanings make to cycling practices in four different English urban areas. Specifically, we discuss differences between places with established cycling cultures and those with newer cycling cultures. Drawing on concepts from practice theory we discuss the role that cultures of cycling play within the four places, and suggest how the meanings of cycling, including its association with other social identities, are connected to the materials and competences seen as necessary for cycling. Our research highlights the embedding of transport in local as well as national cultures, and the associated need for policy-makers to take culture seriously in considering how to shift transport practices.
