Experiencing Urban Cycling
Summary
Stimulating cycling can have a lot of benefits from health to sustainability and preventing traffic
issues. A lot of cycling stimulation happens with the promotion of cycling benefits as well as adapting
infrastructure and making car use less beneficial. These adaptions are mostly functional more than
stimulating the cycling experience. This research uses experimental video research, showing moving
images of 6 different routes to respondents which fill in a survey after watching each route. The
research proves that the cycling experience is under the influence of physical environmental aspects.
This concerns aspects grouped as the built environment, the green environment as well as the visual
heterogeneity. The experienced travel time of a route influences the cycling experience, however the
