Abstract

This paper reviews 100 peer-reviewed articles and 12 non-refereed papers on COVID-19 and cycling published from March 2020 to January 2023. Overall, the studies suggest more increases than decreases in cycling, with some cities reporting large increases. However, there has been much variation among countries, cities, and specific corridors within cities as well as variation by gender, age, ethnicity, income group, trip purpose, and time period of the pandemic. The largest increases in cycling in 2020 were for recreation, exercise, and stress relief on weekends and weekday afternoons. By comparison, cycling to work, university, schools, and shopping generally declined. Most studies reported expansions or improvements in bikeway networks, often specifically related to COVID or accelerated due to COVID, and with a particular emphasis on low-stress facilities such as protected bike lanes, slow streets, car-free streets, and traffic calmed neighbourhood streets. Most of the studies examining the social equity impacts of COVID-related cycling policies found them to be broadly equitable across income, ethnic, age, and gender dimensions. Many studies recommended further expansion of low-stress, safer facilities in order to attract a broader cross-section of the population to cycling.

2019冠状病毒病与骑行:关于2019年至2022年骑行水平变化和政府政策的文献综述
本文回顾了2020年3月至2023年1月期间发表的关于COVID-19和循环的100篇同行评审论文和12篇非评审论文。总的来说,这些研究表明,骑自行车的人数增加了,而不是减少了,一些城市报告说骑车的人数大幅增加。然而,国家、城市和城市内的特定走廊之间存在很大差异,性别、年龄、种族、收入群体、旅行目的和大流行时期之间也存在很大差异。2020年,骑车人数增幅最大的是为了娱乐、锻炼和缓解周末和工作日下午的压力。相比之下,骑车上班、上大学、上学和购物的人数普遍下降。大多数研究报告了自行车道网络的扩展或改善,通常专门与COVID相关或因COVID而加速,并特别强调低压力设施,如受保护的自行车道,慢道,无车街道和交通平静的邻里街道。大多数研究调查了与covid相关的循环政策对社会公平的影响,发现它们在收入、种族、年龄和性别方面大致公平。许多研究建议进一步扩大低压力、更安全的设施,以吸引更广泛的人群骑自行车。运输评论的版权是Routledge的财产,未经版权所有者的明确书面许可,其内容不得复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。但是,用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参阅原始出版版本的材料的完整。(版权适用于所有人。)
