Abstract
The paper analyses impacts of improved cycling infrastructure on demand for this means of transport. We use a stated preferences design for the elicitation of willingness to use the bicycle in the event of various improvements to the cycling environment in the city (in strict and tolerant level).
In the CBA applied to the planned cycling infrastructure network in Pilsen we include the following benefits: i) improvements in health by regular physical activity of new cyclists (quantification of impacts is based on costs of illness); ii) changes in number and severity of accidents (based on accident costs); iii) changes in atmospheric pollution (using the ExternE data). When the demand change is calculated according to the strict level, the social benefits do not cover social costs of building the new cycling infrastructure.
