Older E-bike Users Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent
PURPOSE: Electric bicycles (e-bikes) may offer an opportunity to stimulate physical activity among older adults.

The current experiment with manipulated photographs examined the environmental preferences for transportation cycling ...
