Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine differences in the underlying factors of the bicycle traffic in Zagreb, according to the place of residence. The study included over 3,000 participants frequently included in urban bicycle traffic, using the conveniently assembled questionnaire. The results showed that among all of the factors that have an influence on cycle traffic, the existence of road cycling conditions particularly affects on the frequency of cycling. Among the barriers that have as influence on the frequency of bicycle traffic, the relief of each part of the city and the distance to the destination stand out as the most important. The best road conditions lay down in the center of Zagreb, where the cycle is used more often and for different purposes, while in rural areas, the cycle is more often used for the purpose of sport and recreation. An important factor for less frequent and less secure cycle criving in the northern part of the city can be hilly terrain (relief), while the distance from the city center, have an influence on selecting the type of means of transport. To improve the conditions of bicycle traffic, the most interested are those who live in the center and eastern part of the city. Results provide guidance for local authorities, but also for the cyclists, to improve the conditions for safer and more often bicycle circulation in the City of Zagreb and its surroundings.
