Abstract
Sustainable transport has become an important paradigm in transportation planning. One of the measures is to promote the use of bicycle. This study suggests that in a city where cycling demand hardly exists and with traffic being dominated by motorists, bicycle facilities planning methodology will be more supply-based rather than demand-based. Supply-based analysis usually addresses safety factors. However, the methodology should also produce the most “desired” pathway to induce more bicycle users. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to develop bicycle facility planning methodology in the context of developing countries, specifically Bandung City, Indonesia. Analysis was performed in three steps:(i) identifying the potential route; (ii) assessing road segment and intersection geometry; and (iii) formulating design principles of bicycle facilities. This study resulted in three typologies of road segment's compatibility and four typologies of intersection's cycling risks based on the safety, comfort, and attractiveness criteria.
