Bicycle as a sustainable transportation mode has gained importance as it contributes to reduce the number of motorized vehicles in the cities. In order to this occur, among the factors that need to be encouraged is the integration of cycling with public transportation. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the potential of cycling integration with the metropolitan train and the comparative analysis of the results in different Brazilian capitals. The methodology involved a socioeconomic survey and stated preference to identify the relevant attributes to the occurrence of integration, among users at Vilarinho station in Belo Horizonte. Results indicated the users profile prone to the integration and, distance from origin to the station and the fact of not having a bicycle as reasons for the lack of interest in integration. Interviewees stated that public security and cycling infrastructure are important factors for integration. Moreover, there is not a convergence of the percentage of adherence for integration in the examined cities, and local studies are necessary to evaluate the integration feasibility.
