Abstract
Bicycle traffic is not only very different from motor vehicle traffic in terms of trip length, resource occupation and environmental conservations, but also it has its own riding characteristics in terms of microscopic motion. Compared with other motor vehicles, a bicycle has its own structural characteristics, such as the unstable two-wheel structure, relatively small size, flexibility, powered by human, etc. These characteristics make its microscopic riding motion, quite different from the dynamic motions of motor vehicles. The article focuses on the psychological characteristics of cyclists and the microscopic riding characteristics of cyclist-bicycle unit (also known as bicycle individual). We first analyze the psychological process and main psychological characteristics of bicycle riders are elaborated, and then the riding characteristics of individual bicycles, such as dynamic and static traffic characteristics, serpentine trajectory, speeds distribution, factors affecting speed, braking and turning characteristics.
