Infrastructure, programs, and policies to increase bicycling: an international review. (2010, background): “…assessing the impacts of bicycling on levels of physical activity, obesity rates, cardiovascular health, and morbidity (Anderson et al., 2000; Bassett et al., 2008; Bauman et al., 2008; BMA, 1992; Cavill et al., 2006; Dora and Phillips, 2000; Gordon-Larsen et al., 2009; Hamer and Chida,…”
Demand for Public Transport in Germany and the USA: An Analysis of Rider Characteristics (2012, neutral): “International comparative studies of travel behaviour typically are hampered by inconsistencies among country surveys in their timing, variable definitions, and survey methodology (Bassett, Pucher, Buehler, Thompson, & Crouter, 2008 ; Buehler, Pucher, Merom, & Bauman, 2011 ; Kunert, Kloas, & Kuhfe”
Part II: Policy instruments for sustainable road transport (2010, background): “It is not surprising that developed countries, where walking and cycling are more prevalent either as a form of recreation or transport, tend to have lower obesity rates (Bassett et al., 2008).”
Health benefits of cycling: a systematic review (2011, background): “Many recent studies on active commuting combine walking and cycling (e.g. Wagner et al., 2001; Hu et al., 2003; Hu et al., 2005; Nakanishi & Suzuki, 2005; Barengo et al., 2006; Wennberg et al., 2006; AbuOmar & Rutten, 2008; Bassett et al., 2008; Lindström, 2008; Gordon-Larsen et al., 2009).”
