Bikeability and Emerging Phenomena in Cycling: Exploratory Analysis and Review

Recent strategies to improve the performance of cycling mode transport are based on infrastructural, behavioral, and multimodal measures, which related concept bikeability. A literature review “bikeability indexes” was conducted focusing indicators, using a four-step systematic process. Fourteen studies were included for final analysis provided 138 17 criteria, four domains. The exploratory evidenced limited application indicators pollution, scarce use bicycle sharing systems (BSS), absence electric bicycles, lack digital solutions, need calibration validation process bikeability indexes. Considering changes opportunities created by emerging innovations (namely BSS bicycles) health trade-off pollution reduction, this research reveals that current indexes do not fully address real potential cycle network, limiting its as comprehensive tool promotion sustainable mobility.
