QUINTERO GONZALEZ, Julián Rodrigo. Planning the use of bicycles in intermediate cities: proposal of a network of bicycle paths for Tunja, Colombia. Rev. Ciudades Estados Política [online]. 2022, vol.9, n.2, pp.117-136.  Epub 27-Dez-2023. ISSN 2462-9103.

The bicycle has taken great force throughout the world as a means of transportation; however, its implementation in intermediate cities is still being discussed. The present investigation intends to conceptualize a network of bicycle paths for the city of Tunja, Colombia, which is a typical intermediate city. The methodology is oriented towards formulating a primary network based on the characteristics of the city (vocation, mobility, morphology, and spatial distribution) and urban planning criteria. Consequently, the city's characterization, the analysis of mobility, the concept of the layout of the bike path network, its estimated costs, and planning and financing instruments are presented. It is concluded that the need to advance in the investigation allows for projecting the network of bicycle routes proposed for a shared bicycle system in the city.
