BACKGROUND Planners and politicians in many countries seek to increase the proportion of trips made by cycling. However, this is often challenging. In England, a national target to double cycling by 2025 is likely to be missed: between 2001 and 2011 the proportion of commutes made by cycling barely grew. One important contributory factor is continued low investment in cycling infrastructure, by comparison to European leaders. METHODS This paper examines barriers to cycling investment, considering that these need to be better understood to understand failures to increase cycling level. It is based on qualitative data from an online survey of over 400 stakeholders, alongside seven in-depth interviews. RESULTS Many respondents reported that change continues to be blocked by chronic barriers including a lack of funding and leadership. Participants provided insights into how challenges develop along the life of a scheme. In authorities with little consideration given to cycling provision, media and public opposition were not reported as a major issue. However, where planning and implementation have begun, this can change quickly; although examples were given of schemes successfully proceeding, despite this. The research points to a growing gap between authorities that have overcome key challenges, and those that have not.

投资自行车的障碍:来自英格兰的利益相关者观点。

背景技术许多国家的规划者和政治家寻求增加骑自行车出行的比例。然而,这通常具有挑战性。在英格兰,到 2025 年将自行车翻倍的国家目标很可能无法实现:在 2001 年至 2011 年间,骑自行车的通勤比例几乎没有增长。与欧洲领导者相比,一个重要的促成因素是对自行车基础设施的持续低投资。方法 本文研究了自行车投资的障碍,考虑到需要更好地理解这些障碍以了解提高自行车水平的失败。它基于对 400 多名利益相关者的在线调查以及七次深度访谈的定性数据。结果 许多受访者报告说,变革继续受到长期障碍的阻碍,包括缺乏资金和领导力。参与者提供了有关挑战在计划生命周期中如何发展的见解。在很少考虑提供自行车服务的当局中,媒体和公众反对没有被报道为主要问题。然而,在已经开始规划和实施的地方,情况可能会迅速改变;尽管给出了成功实施计划的例子,尽管如此。研究指出,已克服关键挑战的当局与未克服的当局之间的差距越来越大。
