Spatial bikeability indexes are increasingly used to estimate how and where the built environment encourages or discourages cycling. Most indicators incorporate multiple factors that can influence cyclist behaviour, such as separation from motor vehicle traffic, topography, and land use. Surveys show that cyclists differ in their sensitivity to these factors, often aligned with personal characteristics such as age and sex. But bikeability indexes rarely account for these differences or how factors such as traffic volume and weather vary over time. Non-recreational cycling also competes with other modes of transport such as public transit and motor vehicles, whose attractivity may similarly vary over time. We use existing literature and cyclist GPS/accelerometer tracks collected in the Grenoble, France metropolitan area to identify representative profiles of cyclists. We then develop a “personal” bikeability score tailored to each profile and examine how it varies in space and over the course of a day, week, and year. These indexes will contribute to the INTERMOB project assessing levers and barriers to shifting commuting behaviour from motor vehicles to cycling and public transit.
