          Abstract

          Resumen La bicicleta ha tomado gran fuerza en todo el mundo como medio de transporte; sin embargo, aún se discute su implementación en ciudades intermedias. En la presente investigación se pretende conceptualizar una red de ciclorrutas para la ciudad de Tunja, Colombia, que es una típica ciudad intermedia. La metodología se orienta a la formulación de una red básica a partir de las características de la ciudad (vocación, movilidad, morfología y distribución espacial), así como criterios de planeación urbana. En consecuencia, se presentan la caracterización de la ciudad, el análisis de la movilidad, el concepto del trazado de la red de ciclorrutas, sus costos estimados e instrumentos de planificación y financiación. Se concluye sobre la necesidad de avanzar en la investigación que permita proyectar la red de ciclorrutas propuesta a un sistema de bicicletas compartidas en la ciudad1.

          Abstract The bicycle has taken great force throughout the world as a means of transportation; however, its implementation in intermediate cities is still being discussed. The present investigation intends to conceptualize a network of bicycle paths for the city of Tunja, Colombia, which is a typical intermediate city. The methodology is oriented towards formulating a primary network based on the characteristics of the city (vocation, mobility, morphology, and spatial distribution) and urban planning criteria. Consequently, the city's characterization, the analysis of mobility, the concept of the layout of the bike path network, its estimated costs, and planning and financing instruments are presented. It is concluded that the need to advance in the investigation allows for projecting the network of bicycle routes proposed for a shared bicycle system in the city.

          Resumo A bicicleta vem ganhando força no mundo inteiro como meio de transporte; contudo, ainda é discutida sua implementação em cidades intermediárias. Nesta pesquisa, pretende-se conceitualizar uma rede de ciclovias para a cidade de Tunja, Colômbia, que é uma típica cidade intermediária. A metodologia é orientada à formulação de uma rede básica a partir das características da cidade (finalidade, mobilidade, morfologia e distribuição espacial), bem como critérios de planejamento urbano. Em seguida, são apresentados a caracterização da cidade, a análise da mobilidade, o conceito do desenho da rede de ciclovias, seus custos estimados e instrumentos de planejamento e financiamento. Conclui-se que há necessidade de avançar na pesquisa que permita projetar a rede de ciclovias proposta a um sistema de bicicletas compartilhadas na cidade.

          Moving urban trips from cars to bicycles: impact on health and emissions.

          To estimate the effects on health, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions if short trips (≤7 km) were undertaken by bicycle rather than motor car. Existing data sources were used to model effects, in the urban setting in New Zealand, of varying the proportion of vehicle kilometres travelled by bicycle instead of light motor vehicle. Shifting 5% of vehicle kilometres to cycling would reduce vehicle travel by approximately 223 million kilometres each year, save about 22 million litres of fuel and reduce transport-related greenhouse emissions by 0.4%. The health effects would include about 116 deaths avoided annually as a result of increased physical activity, six fewer deaths due to local air pollution from vehicle emissions, and an additional five cyclist fatalities from road crashes. In economic terms, including only fatalities and using the NZ Ministry of Transport Value of a Statistical Life, the health effects of a 5% shift represent net savings of about $200 million per year. The health benefits of moving from cars to bikes heavily outweigh the costs of injury from road crashes. Transport policies that encourage bicycle use will help to reduce air pollution and greenhouse emissions and improve public health. © 2011 The Authors.

            Evaluating the transport, health and economic impacts of new urban cycling infrastructure in Sydney, Australia – protocol paper

            Background There are repeated calls to build better cycling paths in Australian cities if the proportion of people cycling is to increase. Yet the full range of transport, health, environmental and economic impacts of new cycling infrastructure and the extent to which observed changes are sustained is not well understood. The City of Sydney is currently building a new bicycle network, which includes a new bicycle path separated from road traffic in the south Sydney area. This protocol paper describes a comprehensive method to evaluate this new cycling infrastructure. Method A cohort of residents within two kilometres of the new bicycle path will be surveyed at baseline before a new section of bicycle path is built, and again 12 and 24 months later to assess changes in travel behaviour, sense of community, quality of life and health behaviours. Residents in a comparable area of Sydney that will not get a new separated bike path will act as a comparison group. At baseline a sub-set of residents who volunteer will also take a small GPS device with them for one week to assess travel behaviour. Discussion This research should contribute to the advancement in evaluation and appraisal methods for cycling projects.
