摘要：

In the 21century there exists many reasons that encourage cycling as an environmental friendly activity. Cycling not only decreases the problems created by global warming, it also improves the health and well-being of individuals. A quantitative survey was conducted between the students staying at a campus in one of the Malaysian universities to investigate the potentials of cycling habits between these students. It can be concluded from the respondents' opinion that the use of bicycle is mostly affected by the topography of the university and the weather constraints. (c) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
