Abstract

Cycling is a sustainable and healthy form of transportation that is gradually becoming the primary means of transportation over shorter distances in many countries. This paper describes the dataset used to determine the cycling characteristics of seniors in the USA and Canada. For these purposes, a specially created questionnaire was used in a survey conducted from August 2021 to July 2022. The questionnaire contained sections related to the general socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents, general characteristics of cycling (type of bicycle, cycle time, mileage, etc.), and specific characteristics of cycling (riding in night conditions, termination of cycling, motivating and demotivating factors for cycling, etc.). The total sample consisted of 5096 respondents (50+ years old). This database is particularly significant because it represents the first set of publicly available data related to the cycling characteristics of older adults. The database can be used by various researchers dealing with this topic, but also by the decision-makers who want to design a sustainable and accessible cycling infrastructure, respecting the requirements of this category of users. Finally, this dataset can serve as an adequate basis in the process of determining the specificities and understanding the needs of older cyclists in traffic.
