Abstract
In cities where few people cycle, including Barcelona, men ride more often than women. Research suggests that the quality of cycling infrastructure and how separated it is from motor traffic and pedestrians can affect this gender gap. This study examines whether different types of cycling infrastructure in Barcelona show different gender gaps and seeks to identify which infrastructure characteristics may influence whether women and men choose to cycle.
I byer med lav cykelandel, herunder Barcelona, cykler mænd oftere end kvinder. Forskning peger på, at cykelinfrastrukturs kvalitet og graden af adskillelse fra biltrafik og fodgængere kan påvirke denne kønsforskel. Dette studie undersøger, om forskellige typer cykelinfrastruktur i Barcelona har forskellige kønsgab, og søger at identificere, hvilke kendetegn ved infrastrukturen der kan påvirke, om kvinder og mænd vælger at cykle.
