This study was designed to analyze the effects of a bicycle training course on both adults' environmental perceptions and their mode of commuting. Four bicycle training courses for adults were conducted in Granada, Spain in April 2015 and May 2016. The course program was focused on developing practical skills and attitudes on road. From the initial 65 adults who started the course, only 35 adults met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Participants completed twice (i.e., before and after the course) a questionnaire about their perceptions of the environment, usual mode of commuting to daily destinations, and sociodemographic characteristics. After finishing the initial questionnaire, the participants completed a bicycle training course based on the methodology "Bikeability" with a duration of 6 h. The results suggest that participants improved their safety perception in relation to the level of crime in the participants' neighborhood after the bicycle training course. Cycling training courses should last longer in order to produce changes in the mode of commuting and in the environmental perceptions.
本研究旨在分析自行车培训课程对成年人环境感知和通勤方式的影响。2015 年 4 月和 2016 年 5 月在西班牙格拉纳达为成年人举办了四次自行车培训课程。课程重点在于培养道路实践技能和态度。从最初的 65 名开始课程的成年人中，只有 35 名成年人符合纳入标准并被纳入研究。参与者两次（即课程前后）完成一份关于他们对环境的感知、日常目的地的通常通勤方式以及社会人口特征的问卷。完成初始问卷后，参与者根据“Bikeability”方法完成了为期 6 小时的自行车培训课程。结果表明，参与者在自行车培训课程后提高了对其所在社区犯罪水平的安全感知。为了改变通勤方式和环境感知，自行车培训课程的持续时间应该更长。
