dc.description.abstractThe urban population faces increasing health problems, many of which can be mitigated by more active lifestyles. Cycling is a prime example of such an activity. This study examines the relationship between cycling infrastructure and health in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, Peru, focusing on a section of the bike lanes on Las Flores de Primavera Avenue. Observations and surveys were conducted to analyze the frequency and purpose of bike lane use, residents' perceptions of safety, and their levels of physical activity. The results reveal that while the existence of cycling infrastructure can facilitate mobility, its health benefits are limited by the cultural perception of cycling as a leisure activity rather than as an exercise activity. Additionally, disparities in the quality of bike lane conditions were found to significantly influence perceptions of safety, with well-maintained sections offering a more positive experience than those with infrastructure deficiencies. The study also concluded that lack of time is the main barrier to cycling regularly, with most residents exercised predominantly on weekends. These results highlight the need for improved infrastructure, public safety measures, and campaigns to promote cycling as a health-oriented activity, ensuring its integration into daily life and its potential to address urban health challenges. Overall, this study contributes to expanding the literature on the role of cycling infrastructure in addressing health problems in urban areas.en_US
