Abstract:

Purpose
Bikeability is an emerging concept that quantifies the perceived comfort and convenience of accessing important destinations by bike. Existing bikeability indices are limited to adults, single, large cities and use restricted GIS sources. The aims of this study are to (1) identify environment characteristics related for a bikeable neighbourhood that can be analysed using open GIS data and (2) find associations between bikeability measures and cycling behaviour in adolescents across Germany.

Methods
Street network data, and location data on schools, shops, food establishments, parks and outdoor pitches were downloaded from OpenStreetMap, topography data was taken from the European Digital Elevation Model and population data from the German census. A routing algorithm was used to model the access to the different destinations and to measure the length of streets with slow traffic and separated cycling infrastructure within 4-20 minute bike rides. Data from the MoMo study wave 3 (1253 adolescents aged 11-17 years, 50.1% female) were used to assess the relationship between the GIS measures and cycling to school and non-motorized vehicle use (e. ... mehr
