- No previous research analyzed bicycle riding-related distracting behaviors related to the use of new technologies in relation to city-size patterns.
- This study aimed to compare the prevalence of common technology-related distractions among cyclists riding in >300 cities of different sizes.
- Cyclists from more extensive urban areas tend to report more cycling distractions of both technological and non-technological nature.
- City size had a statistical effect on the usage of handheld devices, headphone-wearing, and non-technological generic distracting sources.
- These outcomes highlight the need for further actions aimed at discouraging the use of technological distracting sources among cyclists.
