El uso de la bicicleta en Santiago de Chile ¿es una opción? by Claudia Arellano Yévenes, Fernando Saavedra Peláez

“…El acceso al transporte y a la movilidad cotidiana constituye uno de los factores importantes de los recursos urbanos de una ciudad, y este acceso es desigual en Santiago, producto de la segregación residencial y socioeconómica de su población y una red de transporte público que no es de fácil acceso para ciertos grupos de población. Este artículo plantea que el uso de la bicicleta como modo de transporte muestra la desigualdad en las condiciones de los desplazamientos, donde para un grupo de la población es una opción y para otro es por falta de alternativas para transportarse, y el ingreso no es el factor diferenciador, sino el lugar de residencia respecto al del trabajo. …”
