Our children cycle less - A Danish pseudo-panel analysis

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of cycling demand for population Denmark. Using pseudo-panels based on large-scale cross-sectional data, analyse temporal stability preferences different age cohorts in combination with residential city sizes. Cycling is decomposed into two effects. Firstly, a ’selection’ effect that explains probability being cyclist, i.e. engaged activities. Secondly, conditional cycle mileage provided respondent cyclist. The joint model estimated as Gamma Hurdle model. study reveals several empirical findings, which three stand out. overall Denmark over period decline. it shown mainly selection effect. Hence, main driver observed decline essentially shrinking rather than decrease trip distances those who travel by bicycle. Thirdly, strongest younger generations, particularly residing outside larger cities. With an international forerunner bicycling and culture developed many decades, believe these findings can be relevant to mitigate similar long-term changes other countries.
