TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Differences in cycling performance of Dutch and non-Dutch students in the Netherlands JO - Transportation research part F: traffic psychology and behaviour A1 - de Waard, Dick A1 - Prey, Alina A1 - Mohr, Alena K. A1 - Westerhuis, Frank SP - 285 EP - 292 VL - 68 IS - N2 - Thirty-seven young adult participants completed a bicycle ride through the city of Groningen. Behaviour of Dutch and non-Dutch cyclists was compared in three conditions: on a control track (i.e. a one-way bicycle path), on a complex intersection, and on a roundabout. Basic bicycle control of the two groups did not differ, neither did reported invested mental effort. However, non-Dutch participants made more serious errors in the experiment and reported to have had more crashes previous to the experiment. It is concluded that the performance of non-Dutch cyclists who continue cycling upon arrival in a new country, does not differ on the control level, but at the higher manoeuvre level more performance errors were observed in the non-Dutch group.
