| Limited attention has been paid to analyse cycling in the Sub-Saharan context. However, that is recognised crucial to facilitate a more effective policy implementation that increases the daily use of bicycle. Using the city of Quelimane, Mozambique as case study, this paper aims to address a clustering approach to identify, profile, and map groups of cycling commuters. A survey exploring both socio-demographic aspects of population and commuters attitude toward cycling was administered, being filled out by 636 people. Factor analysis was used to determine the underlying factors structuring the population sample. A clustering process was applied. The obtained results identified three clusters of cycling commuters: informal workers with children; short-distance students; occasional cyclists. Those clusters were mainly based on the household composition, employment status, and cycling frequency to work/study. The attitudinal characteristics towards cycling combined with travel time spent by population were also mapped for each cluster. Was revealed that, most commuters with a positive attitude toward cycling were located in the periphery while those with a negative attitude where located in the urban centre. This suggested that commuters need to be treated in different way. This findings provided a platform to discuss policy implication for promoting bicycling commuting in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa cities. Keywords: bicycle, commuting, cluster, socio-demographic variables, attitude and Quelimane | |
