There is limited knowledge about cycling under the influence of alcohol (CUI) in Norway. Given the expected growth of cycling, deeper knowledge on risky habits is needed to minimize the risks in traffic. Therefore, this study explores how prevalent CUI is in Norway, what attitudes toward CUI between cyclists are and the reasons why an individual might CUI. Data was collected in three complementary ways. First, informal focus group interviews in naturally occurring groups at pubs and bars provided insight from stories and discussions. Second, an online questionnaire provided detailed information from a larger sample. Third, focused interviews carried out during the night with cyclists influenced by alcohol gained information about their thinking at the moment CUI was about to happen.

The results showed that CUI is prevalent in Norway – for example, from 650 respondents to the online questionnaire, half of them had performed CUI during the past year. The cyclists performing CUI were most often young male adults living in large Norwegian cities. Attitudes toward CUI were generally permissive regarding a low level of alcohol influence, while negative toward cycling under higher influence levels. Permissive attitudes, for instance having friends who also commit CUI, increase the possibility for people to do CUI. Typical reasons for committing CUI include both drinking and cycling habits, nice weather, cyclable distances and the fact that riding a bike is generally considered to be enjoyable. The study uncovered a low level of knowledge of existing rules and regulations regarding CUI among the population.

在挪威，关于在酒精（CUI）影响下骑自行车的知识很少。考虑到自行车运动的预期增长，需要对危险习惯有更深入的了解，以最大程度地减少交通风险。因此，本研究探讨了挪威CUI的流行情况，骑自行车者之间对CUI的态度以及个人选择CUI的原因。以三种互补的方式收集数据。首先，在酒吧和酒吧中自然发生的小组的非正式焦点小组访谈提供了故事和讨论的见解。其次，在线问卷调查提供了较大样本中的详细信息。第三，在夜间进行的针对受酒精影响的骑车者的专访，在CUI即将发生之时获得了有关他们思想的信息。

结果表明，CUI在挪威很普遍-例如，从650名受访者到在线调查问卷，其中一半在过去的一年中进行过CUI。进行CUI的骑自行车者通常是生活在挪威大城市中的年轻男性成年人。对于低度酒精影响，一般对CUI的态度是允许的，而在较高影响水平下，对骑车的态度是负面的。宽容的态度，例如让朋友也提交CUI，会增加人们进行CUI的可能性。犯下CUI的典型原因包括饮酒和骑自行车的习惯，天气好，骑自行车的距离以及骑自行车通常被认为很有趣的事实。该研究发现人们对有关CUI的现有规则和法规知之甚少。
