A study conducted in Madrid at the main university campus among a group of more than 3,000 people (including students, teachers and non-teaching staff) verified these differences empirically. Overall, frequent users give lesser importance to the barriers identified as crucial by infrequent and non-users. Reversely, a better assessment of the positive characteristics of cycling increases with use: the more cycling is used, the more positive is the perception of cycling. And even more noticeable are the differences that can be observed among the purposes for using bicycles. Those who only use a bicycle for leisure or sports purposes value benefits about a half of what commuting users do. Even noticeable is the difference between occasional users, who cycle only for recreational and sports purposes, compared with those who, without ceasing to be occasional users due to the low frequency of use, cycle for systematic purposes, then commuting on an infrequent basis. The pattern of their ratings is very similar to frequent users, differing markedly from the users for non commuting purposes. Along these lines, frequent users perceive other factors as barriers: for example the lack of complementary facilities or theft risk. Based on these results from the Madrid study, this paper emphasizes the importance of guiding urban cycling policies toward measures that promote trying out the bicycle in urban environments through programs specifically directed towards recreational and non-users.
