      perception.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Public bicycle-sharing initiatives can act as health enhancement 
      strategies among urban populations. The aim of the study was to determine which 
      attitudes and perceptions of behavioural control toward cycling and a 
      bicycle-sharing system distinguish commuters with a different adherence to 
      bicycle commuting. METHODS: The recruitment process was conducted in 40 random 
      points in Barcelona from 2011 to 2012. Subjects completed a telephone-based 
      questionnaire including 27 attitude and perception statements. Based on their 
      most common one-way commute trip and willingness to commute by bicycle, subjects 
      were classified into Private Bicycle (PB), public bicycle or Bicing Bicycle (BB), 
      Willing Non-bicycle (WN) and Non-willing Non-bicycle (NN) commuters. After 
      reducing the survey statements through principal component analysis, a 
      multinomial logistic regression model was obtained to evaluate associations 
      between attitudinal and commuter sub-groups. RESULTS: We included 814 adults in 
      the analysis [51.6% female, mean (SD): age 36.6 (10.3) years]. BB commuters were 
      2.0 times [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.1-3.7] less likely to perceive 
      bicycle as a quick, flexible and enjoyable mode compared to PB. BB, WN and NN 
      were 2.5 (95% CI = 1.46-4.24), 2.6 (95% CI = 1.53-4.41) and 2.3 times (95% CI = 
      1.30-4.10) more likely to perceive benefits of using public bicycles (bicycle 
      maintenance and parking avoidance, low cost and no worries about theft and 
      vandalism) than did PB. CONCLUSION: Willing non-bicycle and public-bicycle 
      commuters had more favourable perception toward public-shared bicycles compared 
      to private cyclists. Hence, public bicycles may be the impetus for those willing 
      to start bicycle commuting, thereby increasing physical activity levels.
