| Summary: | This article aims at making a literature review concerning the correlation of microclimatic variables such as mean air temperature, precipitation levels, and air speed, and the decision for the use of bicycle in urban centres. The article contains the systematization of the literature review process divided into two steps: (1) identification and selection of articles, and (2) systematic analysis of content, reinforcing the main findings of the authors. Microclimatic variables influence users of active transports, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Another finding was the variation of mean air temperature and precipitation, being the most influential aspects on deciding to use bicycle, for both utility and leisure routes, the latter being the most affected. Other aspects influencing the use of bicycle, such as socioeconomic and cultural ones, are also mentioned in order to complement the analysis of the impact of the microclimatic variables. The contribution of this article is the systematization of the method used in the bibliographical review and the correlations identified by other authors between microclimatic variables and the use of bicycle in urban centres. |
