Data underlying the publication ‘Between or Beyond Bicycles and Cars? Navigating E-Cargo Bike Citizenship in the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility’

This dataset corresponds to the study titled ‘Between or Beyond Bicycles and Cars? Navigating E-Cargo Bike Citizenship in the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility’, authored by Clara Glachant, Noel Cass, Nicholas Mark and Labib Azzouz.<em> </em>This article introduces the concept of ‘e-cargo bike citizenship’ as a cultural identity shaped through e-cargo cycling practices to understand how they challenge both automobility and vélomobility in transitions to sustainable urban mobility. We analysed 108 interviews with 49 e-cargo bike users in Brighton, Leeds, and Oxford, conducted during a trial loan project. Results indicate that e-cargo bike citizenship broadens cycling identities in contexts where cycling has negative cultural associations. Additionally, e-cargo bike citizenship is often family citizenship, contrasting with individualised cycling, and contesting the norm of motorised family mobility. E-cargo cycling also enables interactions ‘inside’ between rider and passenger(s), reminiscent of automobile citizenship, while being connected ‘outside’ to local communities, reinforcing a sense of belonging that echoes cycling citizenship. Our findings contribute to geography and mobilities research by considering e-cargo bikes’ hybridity, beyond cars and bicycles, and highlight the significance of citizenships in urban mobility transitions, focusing on domestic<em> </em>e-cargo bikes, contrasting with previous studies’ last-mile logistics focus. The dataset contains the interview guide used in this study. The interview transcripts are available on the UK Data Service’s online data repository (Cass et al., 2024).本数据集对应一项题为《自行车与汽车之间或之外？可持续城市出行转型中的电动货运自行车出行公民身份建构》的研究，作者为克拉拉·格拉尚（Clara Glachant）、诺埃尔·卡斯（Noel Cass）、尼古拉斯·马克（Nicholas Mark）与拉比布·阿祖兹（Labib Azzouz）。本文提出「电动货运自行车出行公民身份（e-cargo bike citizenship）」这一概念，将其界定为经由电动货运自行车骑行实践塑造的文化身份，旨在探究其在可持续城市出行转型进程中，如何对机动化出行范式与自行车出行范式构成挑战。我们依托一项试用出借项目，对布莱顿、利兹及牛津三地的49名电动货运自行车用户开展了108次访谈。研究结果显示，在骑行文化存在负面刻板印象的语境下，电动货运自行车出行公民身份拓展了骑行身份的内涵。此外，该身份往往带有家庭属性，与个体化骑行形成鲜明对比，并对机动化家庭出行的通行规范构成挑战。电动货运自行车骑行还可实现骑行者与乘客之间的「内部互动」，令人联想到机动车出行中的公民身份体验；同时又能与本地社区建立「外部联结」，强化呼应骑行公民身份的归属感。本研究通过关注电动货运自行车兼具双重属性的特质——既非汽车亦非自行车——为地理学与出行研究领域贡献了新的视角，并凸显了公民身份在城市出行转型中的重要意义；相较于过往研究聚焦最后一英里物流的视角，本研究聚焦家用电动货运自行车。本数据集包含本研究所使用的访谈提纲。访谈转录文本可在英国数据服务（UK Data Service）在线数据仓库中获取（Cass et al., 2024）。
