Regarding the sharp growth rate of ICT (information and communication technology) - based mobility services like ridesourcing, it is essential to investigate the impact of these new mobility services on the transport mode choices, particularly on active mobility modes like cycling. This impact is more important in the MENA context (the Middle East and North Africa), where cycling does not constitute the main mobility mode in the modal split of most MENA cities. This paper studies the relationship between the regular use of ICT-based mobility services like ridesourcing and the tendency to cycle to near destinations. This paper contains the analysis of 4431 interviews in two large cities of the MENA region (Cairo and Tehran). This research uses logistic regression to analyze and compare the odds of cycling among regular and non-regular users of ridesourcing by considering the socio-economic, land use, and perception variables. The findings indicate that the odds of cycling among the regular users of ridesourcing are 2.30 and 1.94 times greater than these odds among non-regular ridesourcing users in Tehran and Cairo, respectively. Therefore, the regular users of ridesourcing are more likely to cycle to their near destinations than non-regular ridesourcing users in these cities.
关于信息和通信技术（ICT）为基础的出行服务（如网约车）的快速增长，有必要研究这些新的出行服务对交通方式选择的影响，特别是对自行车等主动出行方式的影响。在中东和北非（MENA）地区，这种影响更为重要，因为在大多数 MENA 城市的交通方式分担中，自行车并不是主要的出行方式。本文研究了基于 ICT 的出行服务（如网约车）的常规使用与骑行前往近距目的地的倾向之间的关系。本文包含了对 MENA 地区两个大城市（开罗和德黑兰）的 4431 次访谈的分析。本研究使用逻辑回归分析和比较了定期使用网约车和非定期使用网约车的用户骑行的可能性，考虑了社会经济、土地利用和感知变量。研究结果表明，在德黑兰和开罗，定期使用网约车的用户骑行的可能性分别是非定期使用网约车用户的 2.30 倍和 1.94 倍。因此，与非定期使用网约车的用户相比，这些城市的网约车定期用户更有可能骑行前往近距目的地。
