| Résumé : | Cycling, which is seen as an alternative to the car or public transport, is promoted for many reasons including the environment and traffic safety. Besides the benefits it provides for society, cyclists who regularly cycle will also improve their health as a result of a daily amount of physical activity (de Geus et al. 2009; Oja et al. 2011). Unfortunately, the outcomes of cycling are not entirely positive though. Because of the higher level of physical activity involved in cycling, cyclists are exposed to higher levels of air pollution (Int Panis et al. 2010; see also Willems et al., p. 53). This is relevant because even very brief peak exposures may have some negative health effect (Bos et al. 2013, 2011; Jacobs et al. 2010). Also, the probability and consequences of an accident are higher for cyclists than for car users (Elvik 2009; Pucher and Dijkstra 2000; Tin Tin et al. 2010). |
