Objectives: To: (1) assess cycling-related questions which have been added to the electronic version of the NCHA-ACHA II, (2) examine cycling prevalence; and (3) identify predictors of cycling in college students. Participants: Predominately female (69%), undergraduate (89%), and White (85%) students (N = 949) from a large, urban, northwestern, bicycle-friendly university completed the electronic version of the NCHA-ACHA II.

... I and a subsample of questions was analyzed. Results: Cycling questions added to the NCHA-ACHA II scale were reliable and valid, based on the psychometric data analysis. More than half (59%) of this sample cycled; of those, 58% cycled for transportation and 44% for recreation. Facilitators and barriers to cycling were different for cycling in general and cycling for transportation. Conclusions: Cycling questions added to the NCHA-ACHA II can be utilized to enhance knowledge relative to cycling on college campuses.
