2282 Area Variations in People's Cycling Duration in the Netherlands: The Role of the Natural and the Built Environment

Conclusions Higher address density, more bus stops, and shorter distance from home to nearest train station were positively related to cycling duration. Interactions suggest that relations between environmental characteristics and cycling duration are context-specific (e.g. dependent on circumstances that differ between highly urbanized and less urbanized areas). The findings confirm that the emphasis in Dutch policies on compact, development and good public transport has helped achieve a high level of cycling at both the city and the national level.
