Abstract

Characteristics of the current world such as the deterioration of the environment, global warming, the increase in the population of cities, the increase in migration and the lag in public infrastructure, forcethe search for complex and systematic strategies that facilitate eco-organization. Andpromote the sustainability of urban socio-ecosystems.Mobility by bicycle has been promoted as a sustainability strategy in urban centers because, compared to the car, it favors energy savings, reduces pollution and clears roads.In addition, mobility has been integrated as one of the factors inherent to smart cities because it allows novel uses for public spaces and landscapes, encourages contact between citizens and ingeneral tries to restore a human scale to cities.This research with a mixed and exploratory approach, with the participation of more than 600 daily bicycle users, describes important variables and proposes strategies of cycling mobility as a factor of sustainability in an intermediate city in Colombia.
