This research focuses on improving cycle path design by analyzing the determinants of route choice for bicycle users. The study uses a large GPS dataset to develop a route choice model for the inner-city of Amsterdam. The main research question is to identify the factors that influence route choice decisions, which is broken down into sub-questions related to the contribution of the GPS dataset to route choice models, the relevant variables for bicycle users' route choices, and the effect of these variables on route choice. The study finds that route attributes, such as distance and cycle path quality, and contextual variables, such as trip type and time of day, have a significant effect on bicycle users' route choices. The results provide insights for designing more desirable bicycle infrastructure in urban areas.
