The present study examined potential barriers to cycle-based transport amongst undergraduate students, to inform the design of future cycling promotion interventions at the University of Johannesburg (UJ). A total of 606 first, second and third year UJ undergraduates took part. Sociodemographic and economic determinants of bicycle/car ownership, cycling competency and behavior were evaluated using data derived from a 9-item questionnaire, before and after adjustment for measured confounders. While 70% of respondents knew how to cycle, only 26% owned/had access to a bicycle, and only 18% had last cycled for transport. Bicycle ownership and competency were far commoner amongst male and older participants, and those whose parents had the means to own a car. Interventions to promote cycle-based transport must address the many (predominantly female) students who: have limited cycling competency; do not own/have access to a bicycle; or have little/no experience of cycling for transport.
本研究旨在探讨本科生采用自行车出行的潜在障碍，以为约翰内斯堡大学（UJ）未来的自行车推广干预措施提供信息。共有 606 名 UJ 的大一、大二和大三学生参与了此项研究。通过一份包含 9 个问题的问卷，评估了自行车/汽车拥有情况、骑行能力和行为的社会人口学和经济决定因素，然后在经过测量混杂因素的调整后进行了分析。虽然 70%的受访者知道如何骑自行车，但只有 26%的人拥有/可以使用自行车，只有 18%的人最近曾骑自行车出行。自行车拥有情况和骑行能力在男性和年龄较大的参与者以及那些父母有能力购买汽车的参与者中更为常见。为了促进基于自行车的出行，干预措施必须针对那些：自行车骑行能力有限、没有自行车或无法使用自行车，或者很少/没有骑自行车出行经验的学生。
