This research identified and characterized the risks to which the users of the Free University in the Popular Forest are exposed during their journey from their home to the university and vice versa, taking into account the environmental, social and technological risks. For this, a survey was designed to analyze variables such as gender, age, consideration of the road network in its daily route, if it had suffered injuries and / or accidents, among others that were applied to 160 user bicycles. The results indicated that the perception of the risk is greater depends on the place of origin of the user of the bike, that the poor state of the cycle routes increases the perception of risk when committing unsafe acts. The theft is the social risk that most affects the bike users, the environmental risks rain is the one with the highest risk perception and the most relevant technological risk is the mechanical damage.
