Cyclability is the degree of ease of bicycle circulation.[4]​ A greater degree of cyclability in cities is related, among others, to benefits for people's health, lower levels of atmospheric and noise pollution, improved traffic flow or greater productivity.[5]​[6][7]​.

Entre los factores que afectan a la ciclabilidad se encuentran:[8]​[9]​[10]​[11]​[12]​[13]​[14]​.

Security

The safety of bicycle paths is a requirement for high cyclability:

Coherence

A coherent cycling network "Permeability (transport)") implies:.

Rectitude

Bicycles are driven by people's physical exercise, therefore, a highly cyclable cycling network must allow direct travel "Permeability (transport)") without great efforts:.

One of the best indicators of the degree of cyclability is the balanced proportion of genders and ages that use bicycles daily. Women, children and the elderly are those who have a greater perception of insecurity, so if a city has low cyclability they will not consider the bicycle as a regular means of transportation. On the contrary, a composition of bicycle users similar to the demographic structure will indicate a highly cyclable space.[6]​[15]​.
