This volume addresses key contemporary aspects in cycling policy, practice and research. Cycling has seen a sharp increase in scientific and policy attention in the past decade. The amount of research has surged over the past couple decades. Also, levels of cycling have increased substantially in many countries and cities, and many areas have seen increases in infrastructure investments. In addition, the last decade has seen innovations in bicycle technology, in particularly the rise of electric-assist (e-bikes) and dock-less bike sharing schemes. This volume reviews the state of the art on cycling from various angles. As such it explores planners' (engineers', policy makers') provisions for cycling, of cyclists' (and non-cyclists') travel behaviour, and resulting consequences for individuals and society. One focus is on demand-side aspects, including the use of bicycles and their users including patterns and trends in cycling, determinants of cycling, and modelling of cycling. Another focus is on impacts of cycling, such as emissions, safety aspects, as well as changes during the COVID pandemic.…

About the Author
Dr. Thomas Götschi is an internationally recognized expert in sustainable transportation research with a focus on active transportation and related health aspects. He specializes in issues around data collection and quantitative methods. In over ten years of research he has worked on and led a diversity of projects, including developments of data collection apps and tools, innovative travel survey designs, analysis of travel behavior data, and modeling travel related impacts on carbon emissions and health. The most recent projects include Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA), a travel and health survey in over 10,000 Europeans; World Health Organization’s (WHO) online impact calculator Health Economic Assessment Tool for walking and cycling (HEAT); Mobility in Switzerland (MOBIS), an experiment on mobility pricing in over 3,000 subjects using smartphone tracking data, and E-biking in Switzerland (EBIS), a study on carbon emission reductions through ebiking. Dr. Götschi is an environmental scientist (MS) and epidemiologist (PhD) by training. He is currently affiliated with the University of Oregon, School of Planning, Public Policy and Management, and also works for the WHO, leading the tool development of HEAT.
