DKI Jakarta has implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) since April 10, 2020, which was followed by the Transitional PSBB period on June 5, 2020. Adjustments were made in the field of transportation, particularly public transportation, with restrictions on the operation of public transportation and provision of facilities for cyclists. Cycling itself can be an alternative mode of transportation as long as physical distance is applied. However, apart from socioeconomic characteristics and movement characteristics, the availability and quality of infrastructure can also influence a person's decision on cycling. This study aims to formulate recommendations for infrastructure development to support the use of bicycles as an alternative transportation in DKI Jakarta during the Transitional PSBB. To achieve these objectives, data analysis was carried out using questionnaires and observations which were processed using descriptive statistical analysis to see the comparison of perceptions of the use of public transportation and bicycles, association analysis to see the variables that correlates significantly the interest in using cycling, and descriptive qualitative analysis to analyze existing conditions. As final result, the respondents' perceptions support the observation that the bicycle paths provided are still inadequate. Amidst negative responses from respondents' on cycling as transportation mode for working in DKI Jakarta, 61.6% of respondents were interested in switching to bicycle. Variables that correlates significantly on this decision are age, occupation, income and expenditure, cycling habit, distance, “safety from the spread of COVID-19” of public transportation, time for bicycle travel, and the “comfort” of bicycle. When viewed from the perspective of infrastructure development, the variable that can be intervened is increasing the comfort level of cycling. Based on the results of observations and questionnaires on respondents' perceptions, recommendations that can be made to achieve this are to tighten traffic control to prioritize bicycle use, improve bicycle paths, and integrate bicycle use with mass transportation supported by the provision of supporting components.
