This study, with data from the city of Seattle, examines the built environment factors that impact bicyclists’ route choices. The bicycle routes are identified using a global positioning system (GPS) dataset collected from a smartphone application named “CycleTracks”. This research aims to understand the effects of land use characteristics and roadway design features on bicyclists’ route preferences. A route choice set is generated by the labeling route approach and the K-shortest mean approach. A path size logit model is estimated, and the major findings are: bicycle route choice involves considerations on utility, safety and suitability; higher posted driving speed limits, steeper slopes and longer travel distances create negative effects on bicycle route choice; street lights, parking and trees influence bicyclists’ route choice positively; routes surrounded by more mixed land use, waters and parks are preferred by bicyclists. The authors' analysis generates valuable insights into how urban planning and roadway design can facilitate efficient, safe and comfortable cycling.
