The relationship between the demographic attributes and spatial clustering of individuals making a weekday bicycle journey-to-work commute and their commuting travel time is explored. The study uses data from a 1993 bicycle-intercept survey distributed in Seattle, Washington, in which individual bicycle-travel behavior characteristics were collected. The data include socioeconomic information, such as age, gender and income. The results indicate that these three factors may play unexpected roles in the length of bicycle commuting travel times for the journey-to-work trips. This study also suggests that separated bicycle paths play an integral part in the overall bicycle transportation network. Statistical analysis also indicated that cyclists traveling primarily on separated paths tend to make significantly longer trips.
