Built environment and seasonal variation in active transportation: A longitudinal, mixed-method study in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area

What this source can establish

What a longitudinal study of 384 Helsinki-area adults found about who keeps cycling in winter: residential density and travel-related urban form predicted retention, while the length of the pedestrian and cycling network and the winter maintenance of cycleways did not contribute significantly once density and urban form were accounted for. Establishes associations in one Finnish sample; it does not establish that maintenance has no effect, and says nothing directly about Edmonton.

Permitted excerpts

This source cannot be mirrored here, so these are the passages we are permitted to reproduce — the parts a claim on this site actually rests on.

• “environmental variables measuring the length of the pedestrian and cycling network and the winter maintenance of cycleways did not contribute significantly to the model after accounting for residential density and travel-related urban form and were therefore excluded from the final structural equation model”
