In this paper, we represent a systematic review of stated preference studies examining the extent to which cycle infrastructure preferences vary by gender and by age. A search of online, English-language academic and policy literature was followed by a three-stage screening process to identify relevant studies. We found 54 studies that investigated whether preferences for cycle infrastructure varied by gender and/or by age. Forty-four of these studies considered the extent of separation from motor traffic. The remainder of the studies covered diverse topics, including preferred winter maintenance methods and attitudes to cycle track lighting. We found that women reported stronger preferences than men for greater separation from motor traffic. There was weaker evidence of stronger preferences among older people. Differences in preferences were quantitative rather than qualitative; that is, preferences for separated infrastructure were stronger in some groups than in others, but no group preferred integration with motor traffic. Thus, in low-cycling countries seeking to increase cycling, this evidence suggests focusing on the stronger preferences of under-represented groups as a necessary element of universal design for cycling.
在本文中，我们对陈述偏好研究进行了系统综述，考察了自行车基础设施偏好因性别和年龄而异的程度。在搜索在线英文医学学术和政策文献之后，我们进行了一个三阶段筛选过程，以确定相关研究。我们发现了54项研究，这些研究调查了自行车基础设施偏好是否因性别和/或年龄而异。其中44项研究考虑了与机动车交通分离的程度。其余研究涵盖了各种不同的主题，包括首选的冬季维护方法和对自行车道照明的态度。我们发现，女性比男性更倾向于与机动车交通保持更大程度的分离。老年人有更强偏好的证据较弱。偏好差异是定量的而非定性的；也就是说，某些群体对分离式基础设施的偏好比其他群体更强，但没有群体偏好与机动车交通混合。因此，在寻求增加自行车使用量的低自行车使用率国家，这一证据表明，关注代表性不足群体的更强偏好是自行车通用设计的必要要素。
