A cross sectional survey of attitudes, behaviours, barriers and motivators to cycling in University students

High rates of active travel are essential aspects of healthy communities. Increasing cycling participation has the potential to address a range of long-term health and societal issues, and positively contribute to the health and sustainability agenda. Universities have been proposed as appropriate settings for a healthy place approach however, there is a paucity of evidence on student cycling. Therefore the aim of this paper is to explore the motivators and barriers to cycling amongst University students.
