TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Will Greeks cycle? Exploring intention and attitudes in the case of the new bicycle network of Patras JO - International journal of sustainable transportation A1 - Milakis, Dimitris SP - 321 EP - 334 VL - 9 IS - 5 N2 - In this paper, social psychology methods were employed to explore the intention of a Greek city's residents to use a new bicycle network for their mobility needs, the factors affecting this intention, and the residents' attitudes toward the environment, car use, and alternative means of transport. A strong intention to use the new bicycle network was found, complemented by pro-environment, pro-alternative means of transport views and realization of car-related problems. The construction of the bicycle network, along with soft cycle-promotion policies and car-restriction measures, may strengthen the perceived behavioral control and attitude and, consequently, this intention.
