Interest is growing in promoting utility cycling (i.e., for transport) as a means of incorporating daily physical activity (PA) into people's lives, but little is known about correlates of utility cycling. Our primary aim was to examine cross-sectional relationships between socio-economic characteristics, neighborhood environment perceptions and psychological disposition with utility cycling (with or without additional recreational cycling). A secondary aim was to compare these relationships with those for recreation-only cycling.
Baseline survey data (2007) from 10,233 participants in HABITAT, a multilevel longitudinal study of PA, sedentary behavior, and health in Brisbane adults aged 40-65years, were analyzed using multinomial regression modeling.
Greater income, habitual PA, and positive beliefs about PA were associated with utility and recreation-only cycling (p<0.05). Always having vehicle access and not in the labor force were associated with recreation-only cycling (p<0.05). Some or no vehicle access, part-time employment, and perceived environmental factors (little crime, few cul-de-sacs, nearby transport and recreational destinations) were associated with utility cycling (p<0.05).
Our findings suggest differences in associations between socio-economic, neighborhood perceptions and psychological factors and utility and recreation-only cycling in Brisbane residents aged 40-65years. Tailored approaches appear to be required to promote utility and recreational cycling.
将实用型骑行（即用于交通）作为一种将日常身体活动融入人们生活的方式，人们对此的兴趣与日俱增，但关于实用型骑行的相关因素却知之甚少。我们的主要目的是研究社会经济特征、邻里环境感知和心理倾向与实用型骑行（有无额外休闲骑行）之间的横断面关系。次要目的是将这些关系与仅用于休闲的骑行进行比较。
使用多项回归模型分析了来自HABITAT研究中10233名参与者的基线调查数据（2007年），该研究是一项关于40 - 65岁布里斯班成年人身体活动、久坐行为和健康的多层次纵向研究。
较高收入、习惯性身体活动以及对身体活动的积极信念与实用型骑行和仅用于休闲的骑行相关（p<0.05）。始终有车辆可用且未参加劳动力与仅用于休闲的骑行相关（p<0.05）。部分或没有车辆可用、兼职工作以及感知到的环境因素（犯罪率低、死胡同少、附近有交通和休闲目的地）与实用型骑行相关（p<0.05）。
我们的研究结果表明，在40 - 65岁的布里斯班居民中，社会经济、邻里感知和心理因素与实用型骑行和仅用于休闲的骑行之间的关联存在差异。似乎需要采取针对性的方法来促进实用型骑行和休闲骑行。
