policies are encouraging people to use more sustainable modes of transport, such as walking,
cycling or public transport, in preference to private cars. The study was aimed at analysing
general conditions for bicycle utilization, and their application to the outskirts of the
largest Moravian town, Brno, and discussing the possible future of bicycling in this region,
including its relation to health. What motivating factors could influence people’s decision
to use bicycles as a means of transport? A survey was conducted at the third-largest university
in Brno, where the respondents were approached. According to the obtained results,
more than half of the respondents used bicycles mostly for leisure purposes. Nevertheless,
almost one-third mentioned bicycling for transport purposes. Thus, there is a potential for
cycling to become a significant part of transport and thus contribute to human health and a
healthy city environment, however, the region should considerably adjust its infrastructure
to encourage cyclists to visit Brno and its surroundings.Pracoviště Ústav geoniky Kontakt Lucie Gurková, lucie.gurkova@ugn.cas.cz, Tel.: 596 979 354 Rok sběru 2019 Elektronická adresa https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369847817301584
