in place: reduction of car traffic, avoidance of promiscuity induced by public transport,
need to play sports after a long period of immobility, installation of new infrastructure, etc. and
Indeed, many people in Brussels got into the saddle after the covid: +44% of cyclists on Brussels roads
at rush hour between 2021 and 20221 and 39% of users on cycle paths over the whole period
2021-20222.
The objective of this survey is not so much to assess the saddling of Brussels residents since the covid, but rather
analyse the motivations that may have led non-cyclists to take the handlebars, as well as the continuation of this
new practice in time. This is why it was decided to conduct a longitudinal survey
(3 waves of surveys: 2022, 2023 and 2024) in order to follow the new Brussels cyclists in their practice of
bike.
For this survey, we interviewed 220 respondents in 2022, followed by those same people in 2023 (N=179).
and one more time in 2024 (N=158), for a drop-out rate of 28%.
