Criteria for Cyclists' Everyday Route Choice

This study deals with the question of what the cyclists themselves see as important for route choice. The following have been identified in a survey in Dresden, Germany: 1) Coherence, where the cycling infrastructure forms a coherent unit and links with all departure points and destinations of the cyclists; 2) Directness, where the infrastructure continually offers as direct a route as possible; 3) Attractiveness, where the infrastructure is designed and fitted to the surroundings in a manner that makes cycling attractive; 4) Safety, where the infrastructure guarantees the road safety for the cyclists; 5) Comfort, where the infrastructure enables a quick and comfortable flow for bicycle traffic.
