There is no standard naming convention for cycling infrastructure across cities. Our aim was to develop a common nomenclature for cycling infrastructure in Canada, relevant to the context of public health practice. We drew on transportation engineering design guides and public health guidance to develop a bicycle facility classification system: the Canadian Bikeway Comfort and Safety (Can-BICS) classification system, a three-tiered classification scheme that groups five bicycle facilities based on safety performance and user comfort. Adopting consistent nomenclature as per the Can-BICS system will support regional and national surveillance efforts in public health, planning and sustainability.
城市间自行车基础设施的命名规范并不统一。我们旨在为加拿大的自行车基础设施制定一个通用术语，使其与公共卫生实践的背景相关。我们借鉴了交通工程设计指南和公共卫生指南，制定了自行车设施分类系统：加拿大自行车道舒适度和安全性（Can-BICS）分类系统，这是一个三级分类方案，根据安全性和用户舒适度将五种自行车设施进行分组。采用符合 Can-BICS 系统的一致术语将支持公共卫生、规划和可持续性方面的区域和国家监测工作。
