The impact of local environment characteristics on individual cycling behaviour has been discussed in transport research for several years. Many previous studies have, however, primarily focused on the presence and distribution of built environment elements, considered using georeferenced or census data. This paper argues that not only is the objectively measured environment an influencing factor, but also the individual perception of this environment. Furthermore, besides built elements, the evaluation of perceived non-built attributes, such as discourses and policies, as well as the environment’s impact on cycling attitudes, should be taken into account for a more comprehensive view. For this purpose, this study examines the responses to a household survey in the German city of Offenbach am Main (n = 701). The impact of the perceived local environment on cycling behaviour and cycling attitudes has been analysed using 21 perception items as well as socio-demographics, travel mode availability and general travel attitudes. For a more detailed view on cycling behaviour, this study applies the stage model of self-regulated behavioural change (SSBC) indicating a level of openness to use a bicycle frequently in everyday life. The results of the multivariate analysis show that the perceptions of built and non-built environment characteristics interrelate. Furthermore, certain perceptions encourage bicycle use and positive attitudes towards cycling, such as perceived cycling safety and pleasure. Primarily, these perceptions are safe and appropriate cycling infrastructures, cycling as a common practice and the absence of vandalism, dirt and high car pressure.

当地环境特征对个人骑行行为的影响已经在交通研究中讨论了好几年。然而，许多先前的研究主要关注建筑环境元素的存在和分布，考虑使用地理参考或人口普查数据。本文认为，不仅客观测量的环境是一个影响因素，而且个体对该环境的感知也是一个影响因素。此外，除了建筑元素外，还应考虑对感知的非建筑属性的评估，例如话语和政策，以及环境对骑车态度的影响，以获得更全面的观点。为此，本研究调查了对德国美因河畔奥芬巴赫市（n = 701）家庭调查的回应。使用 21 个感知项目以及社会人口统计学、出行方式可用性和一般出行态度分析了感知的当地环境对骑车行为和骑车态度的影响。为了更详细地了解自行车行为，本研究应用了自我调节行为改变 (SSBC) 的阶段模型，表明在日常生活中频繁使用自行车的开放程度。多元分析的结果表明，对建成和非建成环境特征的感知是相互关联的。此外，某些观念鼓励自行车使用和对骑自行车的积极态度，例如感知骑自行车的安全性和乐趣。首先，这些看法是安全和适当的自行车基础设施，骑自行车是一种普遍的做法，没有故意破坏，
