| Summary: | The use of bicycle transportation modes in Bandung has increased significantly during
COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to investigate the potential use of bicycles in the
future for purposes other than sports and recreation, such as work. The study design
adopts the principles of developing Non-Motorized Transportation (NMT) and bicycle
mode choice literature which applied to data taken by questionnaire and observation.
The analysis includes descriptive and spatial analysis, reliability test, association test,
and binary logistic regression. Furthermore, the theory and principles adopted fulfill
the principle of reproducibility and replicability in scientific methods, confirming the
intial hypothesis that individual habits and attitudes affect willingness to bike in
addition to socio-demographic, travel, and built-environmental characteristics.
Moreover, factors influencing bicycle mode choice as shown by logistic regression
results obtained at ? = 0,05 are that cycling for exercise and recreation is a positive
factor before COVID-19 but will reduce individual probability of using it as the main
mode of transportation during COVID-19. Next, cycling for work or school purposes
is a strong positive factor in using a bicycle after COVID-19. It can be concluded that
from the demand side, there is potential for the use of bicycles for other than sports,
namely for work, school, and shopping purposes. However, if the supply side, such as
bike facilities, regulations, and policies, falls short, the potential for sustainable
bicycle use may disappear, reverting to the pre-COVID-19 condition, resulting in a
minimal presence of cyclists in Bandung. |
