Concerns about health, environment, energy consumption, and transportation costs have increased interest in use of non-motorized transport, such as bicycling and walking, for utilitarian purposes. Although current levels of bicycle use as a share of travel modes is low in the U.S., it is much higher in countries with similar levels of development and weather conditions. Greater attention to built environment factors that facilitate biking and walking may increase the use of these travel modes, at least for relatively short trips. Non-design factors such as the natural environment, community culture, and personal characteristics are likely also to be important in understanding decisions to use bicycles for routine travel purposes.
