英文摘要	The COVID-19 pandemic and climate change are both catalysts for societal transformations that are altering the way people live, work, and play. In response to these two crises, cycling is experiencing a new wave of popularity as it provides opportunities for safe, low-carbon transportation, exercise, and leisure. While the recent cycling boom is often associated with urban areas, rural communities are also expanding cycling opportunities via new rail trail projects, on-road routes, and mountain biking networks. The expansion of rural cycling infrastructure is frequently described as transformative for rural communities, contributing to economic renewal, while also enhancing quality of life and environmental sustainability. Yet rural communities sometimes meet these projects with skepticism or resistance due to concerns about increased presence of outsiders, crime, and changes in the economic and cultural orientations of the community. This contrast between the transformational promise of new cycling infrastructure and the more mixed reactions at the local level suggest a need for holistic examination of the connections between cycling infrastructure and rural sustainability transformations. Drawing on a systematic review of recent case study literature on rural cycling in the United States, the paper applies the framework of three spheres of transformation to examine the community impacts of rural cycling infrastructure. Our review highlights both opportunities and challenges associated with efforts to promote rural sustainability transformations, revealing a need for greater attention to the alignment of the projects with communitycentered values and outcomes.
