Abstract

This study investigates two groups of recreational cyclists' environmental preferences for, and satisfaction with, existing cycling facilities in a technopolis. An in-depth examination of between-group differences in demand for recreational cycling was carried out on the basis of personal characteristics, cycling experiences, and cycling resources. An omnibus test was conducted to examine whether there were any differences between the two groups of workers in terms of their environmental preferences for cycling facilities. Additional analyses were conducted to examine the importance that the cyclists placed on environmental factors, as well as their levels of satisfaction. Significant between-group differences were found regarding the environmental preferences and significant within-group differences were also found regarding the importance ratings of the environmental components, as well as their ratings of satisfaction with those components. The results provide valuable information for evaluating the efficiency of governmental-resource allocations and, by extension, providing guidelines for an appropriate cycling policy when constructing recreational cycling facilities.
