Understanding how several street attributes influence the frequency of cycle commuting is relevant for policymaking in urban planning. However, to better understand the impact of the built environment on people's choices, we must understand the subjective experience of individuals while cycling. This study examines the relationship between perceived satisfaction and the attributes of the built environment along the route.Data was collected from a survey carried out within one district of Santiago’s central business district (N=2,545). It included socio-demographic information, origin-destination and route, travel behavior habits, and psychometric indicators. Two models were estimated. The first, a satisfaction latent variable model by mode, confirms previous findings in the literature, such as the correlation between cycling and a more enjoyable experience, while adding some new findings. For instance, satisfaction increases with distance and the number of trips per week. The second is a hybrid ordered logit model for cycle commuting frequency that includes satisfaction, through a structural equation, that shows this latent variable plays a significant role in travel behavior.The presence of buses along the route decreases cycling satisfaction and frequency, while the trip length and the availability of cycle paths has the opposite effect for male and female cyclists. These results allow us to understand the main factors that deliver satisfaction to cyclists and therefore induce frequent cycle commuting. Overall, our study provides evidence of the need for policymakers to focus their strategies so as to effectively promote cycling among different types of commuters.

感知满意度和建筑环境对自行车通勤频率的作用

了解几个街道属性如何影响自行车通勤的频率与城市规划中的政策制定相关。然而，为了更好地了解建筑环境对人们选择的影响，我们必须了解个人在骑行时的主观体验。本研究考察了感知满意度与沿线建筑环境属性之间的关系。数据来自在圣地亚哥中央商务区 (N=2,545) 的一个区域内进行的一项调查。它包括社会人口信息、起点-目的地和路线、旅行行为习惯和心理指标。估计了两个模型。第一个是按模式的满意度潜变量模型，证实了文献中先前的发现，例如骑自行车和更愉快的体验之间的相关性，同时增加了一些新的发现。例如，满意度随着距离和每周出行次数的增加而增加。第二个是自行车通勤频率的混合有序 logit 模型，其中包括满意度，通过一个结构方程，表明该潜在变量在出行行为中起着重要作用。长度和自行车道的可用性对男性和女性骑自行车者的影响相反。这些结果使我们能够了解使骑车人感到满意并因此导致频繁骑车通勤的主要因素。全面的，
