Although the bicycle has a restricted radius of comfortable circulation for the user, the benefits of this means of transportation outweigh its negative conditions. In addition to helping to reduce the environmental impacts generated by motorized transport, which requires fossil fuel, the bicycle is considered a form of economic mobility. Analyzing the cycling system in the urban area of Goiânia implies understanding these conditions through the way it is available in the city. This condition, in turn, can reveal the existence of an unexpected socio-spatial segregation. The fragmentation of cycle paths in the territory of the capital of Goiás shows almost a complete lack of connection between the cycle system and the main public transport terminals. In addition, it is observed that the inexistence of the bicycle system in peripheral regions of the municipality implies a selective service of the system in favor of a certain social class. In this way, the system does not respond equally to the basic needs of different types of users, safeguarding the existence of some bicycle racks in a few poles of travel generators, dispersed in the municipality. In addition, in many cases, the cyclist is at the mercy of an insecure, incomplete and restricted travel. Such a situation not only reduces the choice of people to the reasons for different displacements, but also limits the right to urban mobility in its entirety, by the user of this type of transport mode. Considering these aspects, the research starts from the following question: does the location of bike paths in Goiânia reveal a condition of socio-spatial segregation when analyzing its insertion in the urban network? Urban socio-spatial segregation is understood by the arrangement of objects in space according to the use and interest of certain social classes. Urban objects can be understood as undertakings, neighborhoods, infrastructure or others that are governed by political, administrative, social, economic and environmental decisions. The convergence or not of these aspects may limit (or not) the lower income classes to the full right for the city or the full exercise of their citizenship. In this sense, this research has the general objective of understanding whether the location of bike paths in Goiânia reveals or not a process of socio-spatial segregation. The study starts from a critical analysis of the urban space, taking it as a complex and contradictory element, in which the displacements through the cycle system also reflect these contradictions. Although it is recognized that it is not possible to study Goiânia dissociated from its metropolitan region, the present research is limited to the rays of direct and indirect influence of the existing cycle paths in the city in 2019. The methodology is based on the definition of this ray and on the socioeconomic characterization of the user it covers. These data resulted in the construction of thematic maps that were analyzed using spatial models. In the absence of a study of the profile of users, whose field survey was affected by the pandemic, studies that were already prepared were considered. The results indicate that the bicycle infrastructure is located in areas with urban infrastructure and with a dispersed design in the urban network, benefiting a certain population profile, in contrast, neighborhoods with a lower income population are not served by this infrastructure.
