The #Covid19 pandemic affected commuting #TravelBehavior, with soft modes emerging as reliable options for short-distance trips. This paper focuses on evaluating the bike-friendliness of Venice, evaluating the potential for using bicycles to reach the historic city center from the mainland. One critical issue identified is the inadequate provision of bike parking, which must be addressed to position bicycles as a competitive and viable alternative for commuting. (2/2)

This paper appears in the special issue: Modeling Choice Behavior of Cyclists & Pedestrians in Urban Areas
