Bikeways and cycling urban mobility Gonzalo Orden, Hernán Linares Unamunzaga, Alaitz Velasco Carrera, Lara Diez, Jose Maria Rojo Arce, Marta Cycling Sustainable mobility Urban mobility Transportes Transportation Trabajo presentado en el XI Congreso de Ingeniería del Transporte (CIT 2014). During the past years, cycling use has been promoted in our cities as an alternative to other modes of transport. One of the main objectives of the utilization of the bicycles is to reduce the use of private vehicles powered by fossil fuel. In this paper some of the advantages and benefits of the cycling use are presented, and some factors that influence its utilization are analysed. In particular, the study is focused on the barrier elements and, more specifically, in the structural barrier factors. Further on, more than 70 kilometres of bicycle network in several cities of the region of Castile and Leon (Spain) have been analysed, in order to see their potential influence on the use of the bicycle. From the results of this analysis some recurring problems emerge and make us identify that the total length of the bicycle network is not so important as the number of destinations and completed itineraries that can be reached in an effective and safe way. 2016-09-02T11:14:30Z 2016-09-02T11:14:30Z 2014-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 1877-0428 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/4224 10.1016/j.sbspro.2014.12.170 eng Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences. 2014, V. 160, p. 567-576 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sbspro.2014.12.170 Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf Elsevier
