Abstract This paper examines the influence of residential relocation on travel behaviour by studying the adoption of utility cycling among high-income earners living in Johannesburg. Qualitative analysis of a retrospective survey broadly finds that a majority of the sample (n = 39/66) started cycling as adults in contexts other than Johannesburg with higher bicycle mode share (n = 33/39). While such initial adoption of cycling in contexts where the practice was pervasive is consistent with travel behaviour research, subsequent continuation in Johannesburg with limited utility cycling profile departs from this model. The paper suggests that this may have to do with the higher degree of travel satisfaction associated with cycling in comparison to other travel modes. Further studies should explore this proposition.

自行车的粘性：约翰内斯堡的住宅搬迁和公用事业自行车的变化

摘要 本文通过研究居住在约翰内斯堡的高收入者对公用事业自行车的采用，研究了住宅搬迁对出行行为的影响。一项回顾性调查的定性分析广泛地发现，大多数样本 (n = 39/66) 在除约翰内斯堡以外的其他环境中作为成年人开始骑自行车，自行车模式份额较高 (n = 33/39)。虽然这种在实践普遍存在的环境中最初采用自行车与旅行行为研究是一致的，但随后在约翰内斯堡继续使用自行车的实用性有限的情况与这种模式背道而驰。该论文表明，与其他出行方式相比，这可能与骑自行车相关的出行满意度更高有关。进一步的研究应该探索这个命题。
