Barriers

Abstract

What are the barriers commuters encounter in their practice of cycling? To which elements and scales do they refer? How can they be overcome? As in the section on motivations, this chapter begins with a quantitative overview. The main barriers are then explored in depth using interviews and respondents’ comments. They are addressed in terms of the scale at which they operate: that of the individual, their household or, more generally, the context in which cycling takes place.
