非机动车出行方式，特别是骑自行车，在许多美国（美国）正在经历复苏。国家以及其他国家。尽管如此，大多数研究都集中在骑自行车文化浓厚的地区。本文讨论了在美国亚拉巴马和田纳西州的六个社区进行的一项调查（N = 1，178）的结果，在那里骑自行车还不流行，也不被广泛采用。该分析包括线性回归模型，该模型基于受访者对自行车基础设施图像的反应以及他们对舒适，安全和愿意在显示的道路类型上尝试骑自行车的看法。调查结果表明，更分离的自行车基础设施类型沿着与选项，排除在街上停车的偏好。分段模型表明，与潜在的骑自行车的人相比，经常功利骑自行车的人的偏好可以比那些娱乐/偶尔骑自行车的人变化更大。这项研究的结果为如何最大限度地提高投资回报提供了有用的见解，并设计了能够吸引顾客的自行车基础设施，并且在缺乏大量自行车人口的地区最成功。
Non-motorized travel modes, particularly cycling, are experiencing a resurgence in many United States (U.S.) states as well as in other countries. Still, most studies focus on bicyclists' behaviors in areas with strong bicycling cultures. This paper discusses the findings of a survey (N = 1,178) deployed in six communities in Alabama and Tennessee, U.S., where cycling is not (yet) popular nor widely adopted. The analysis includes linear regression models built on respondents' reactions to images of bicycling infrastructure and their perceptions of being comfortable, safe, and willing to try cycling on the displayed roadway type. Findings indicate a preference for more separated bicycle infrastructure types along with options that exclude on-street parking. Segmented models indicate that, compared with potential cyclists, the preferences of regular utilitarian cyclists can vary more than those of recreational/occasional cyclists. Results from this study provide useful insights into ways to maximize the return on investments, and design bike infrastructure that can attract patronage and be most successful in areas lacking a substantial bicycling population.
