This paper examines self-reported retrospective data for a 12 month period from 2038 adult cyclists from New South Wales (Australia), and compares cyclists according to whether they self-identify as riding mainly for transport or mainly for recreation. Statistically significant differences were found in the demographic characteristics, cycling patterns, and crash experiences between these two groups of cyclists. Transport cyclists tended to be younger, travel more days per week, and within morning and evening peak hours than recreational cyclists; recreational cyclists were more likely to identify fitness as a purpose for cycling. The proportion of cyclists experiencing a crash or crash-related injury in the previous 12 months was similar for transport and recreational cyclists, but there were differences in crash types and location which likely reflect different cycling environments. Heterogeneity within transport and recreational cyclists was also found, based on self-reported riding intensity. An understanding of the different cycling patterns and experiences of various types of cyclists is useful to inform road safety, transport and health promotion policy.
本文研究了来自澳大利亚新南威尔士州的2038名成年自行车骑行者自报的12个月回顾性数据，并根据骑行者自我认定的主要出行目的（通勤或休闲）对他们进行了比较。结果发现，这两组骑行者在人口统计学特征、骑行模式和撞车经历方面存在统计学上的显著差异。通勤骑行者往往比休闲骑行者更年轻，每周骑行天数更多，且多在早晚高峰时段出行；休闲骑行者更有可能将健身作为骑行目的。在过去12个月中，通勤骑行者和休闲骑行者遭遇撞车或与撞车相关伤害的比例相似，但撞车类型和地点存在差异，这可能反映了不同的骑行环境。此外，根据自我报告的骑行强度，在通勤骑行者和休闲骑行者群体内部也发现了异质性。了解各类骑行者不同的骑行模式和经历，有助于为道路安全、交通和健康促进政策提供参考。
