AB People face different barriers when choosing to commute by bike. The predominance ofthese barriers in users’ perception could explain the low cyclability rates present in manycities. An investigation of cyclists’ perceptions is developed using the data set obtainedthrough a survey made to individuals from Quito, Ecuador. This study is aimed to evaluatethe perception of a group of individuals about barriers to bike use, in particular, assesseshow perception varies according to the available information and the different profiles.Using ordered probit models, the study compares the overall evaluation of bike acceptancebefore and after making individuals reflect on the importance of certain variables (e. g. lackof bike infrastructure, city temperatures, etc.). The main results show that to improve bikeuse acceptance, enhancing multimodality or providing facilities like electric bikes must beconsidered. The results also demonstrated a high heterogeneity of individuals’ perceptionscaused by their socio-demographic characteristics and the environmental context.
