Why is it important?
Information about cycling in Brazil is still incomplete and there is little research on the factors that influence the attitudes and behavior of cyclists.
Perspectives
The continuation of this study is directed to understanding cyclists’ perceptions, motivations and behaviors in other cities of Rio de Janeiro State, incorporating issues regarding gender, age and the ownership of motorized vehicles. We hope this paper could gather researchers of other universities to analyse cycling as an important mode of transportation.
