In this paper, we develop comparable multilevel logistic models predicting whether a sample of 5.7 million workers commute by bicycle in the hundred largest urban areas in the US and Mexico. In both contexts, men in relatively poor households without motor vehicles are likeliest to cycle. The similarities in cycling commuters generally stop with these commonalities, however. The archetypal US bike commuter is a recent college graduate, lives by himself in a centrally located apartment in a moderate-to- high density city, like Portland, OR, and works in a relatively low-paying service sector job, perhaps at a restaurant or a not-for-profit. The archetypal Mexican bike commuter, by contrast, is in his mid-forties, has only a few years of formal education, lives with a large family in a house in the suburbs of either a small city or a dense metropolitan area, and commutes to a relatively low-paying agriculture, construction, or manufacturing job. Local context matters and the most effective public policies to promote urban cycling will almost certainly vary across national borders. For example, our analysis suggests that suburban cycling investments will likely do a lot more to support Mexican cyclists than US ones. Last, we conclude that there is a need for studies that include comparable measures of cycling infrastructure, local built environments, and non-work trips across national contexts.

谁骑自行车去哪里工作?美国和墨西哥城市通勤者的多层次比较分析

在本文中,我们开发了可比的多级物流模型,预测了在美国和墨西哥的一百个最大的城市地区是否有570万工人骑自行车上下班。在这两种情况下,相对贫困的家庭中没有机动车辆的男性最有可能骑自行车。但是,通勤骑自行车通勤者的相似之处通常会因这些共同之处而停止。美国的典型自行车通勤者是一名刚毕业的大学毕业生,独自生活在俄勒冈州波特兰市等中等密度至高密度城市的中央公寓中,并且从事相对低薪的服务行业工作,也许是在餐馆里工作或非营利组织。相比之下,原型的墨西哥自行车通勤者才40多岁,只接受过几年正规教育,与一个大家庭住在一起,住在一个小城市或人口稠密的大都市郊区的房子里,并通勤从事相对低薪的农业,建筑或制造业工作。地方情况很重要,促进城市自行车发展的最有效公共政策几乎可以肯定会因国而异。例如,我们的分析表明,郊区自行车投资在支持墨西哥骑自行车者方面可能比在美国做得多。最后,我们得出结论,有必要进行研究,其中包括自行车基础设施,当地建筑环境以及跨国家背景的非工作旅行的可比指标。地方情况很重要,促进城市自行车发展的最有效公共政策几乎可以肯定会因国而异。例如,我们的分析表明,郊区自行车投资在支持墨西哥骑自行车者方面可能比在美国做得多。最后,我们得出结论,有必要进行研究,其中包括自行车基础设施,当地建筑环境以及跨国家背景的非工作旅行的可比指标。地方情况很重要,促进城市自行车发展的最有效公共政策几乎可以肯定会因国而异。例如,我们的分析表明,郊区自行车投资在支持墨西哥骑自行车者方面可能比在美国做得多。最后,我们得出结论,有必要进行研究,其中包括自行车基础设施,当地建筑环境以及跨国家背景的非工作旅行的可比指标。
