Abstract

Introduction: We aimed to examine utilitarian bicycle use among adults from 18 large Latin American cities and its association with socio-economic position (education and income) between 2008 and 2018.

Methods: Data came from yearly cross-sectional surveys collected by the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF). A total of 77,765 survey respondents with complete data were used to estimate multilevel logistic regression models with city as random intercept and year as random slope.

Results: Individuals with high education and high-income levels had lower odds of using a bicycle compared with participants with lower education and income levels. These associations, however, changed over time with the odds of bicycle use increasing for all groups, especially among individuals with the highest education and income levels.

Discussion: Our results confirm the broadening appeal of bicycling across socioeconomic positions in several Latin American cities and reinforce the importance of considering policies aimed at supporting and enhancing bicycle travel for all users.

拉丁美洲城市的自行车使用情况:随着时间的推移随着社会经济地位的变化

引言我们旨在研究2008年至2018年间，拉丁美洲18个大城市成年人的实用自行车使用情况及其与社会经济地位（教育和收入）的关系。方法数据来自拉丁美洲开发银行（CAF）收集的年度横断面调查。共有77765名数据完整的调查对象被用于估计以城市为随机截距、年份为随机斜率的多层次逻辑回归模型。结果与教育程度和收入水平较低的参与者相比，教育程度和高收入水平较高的人使用自行车的几率较低。然而，随着时间的推移，这些联系发生了变化，所有群体使用自行车的几率都在增加，尤其是在受教育程度和收入水平最高的人群中。讨论我们的研究结果证实了骑自行车在几个拉丁美洲城市的社会经济地位中的吸引力不断扩大，并强调了考虑旨在支持和加强所有用户自行车出行的政策的重要性。
