Cyclability is the degree of ease of bicycle circulation.
[4] A greater degree of cyclability in cities is related, among others, to benefits for people's health, lower levels of air and noise pollution, improved fluidity of traffic or increased productivity.
[5][6][7] Among the factors that affect cyclability are:[8][9][10][11][12][13] The safety of cycle paths is a requirement for high cyclability: A coherent cycling network implies: Bicycles are driven by people's physical exercise, therefore, a highly cyclable cycling network must allow direct movement without great effort: One of the best indicators of the degree of cyclability is the balanced proportion of genders and ages that make daily use of the bicycle.
Women, children and the elderly are the ones who have a greater perception of insecurity, so if a city has low cyclability, they will not consider the bicycle as a usual means of transport.
On the contrary, a composition of bicycle users similar to the demographic structure will indicate a highly cyclable space.
