In recent years, local scholars have discovered that bicycles are gradually becoming an emerging mode in local travel, while past studies also discover that as bicycle riders of different characteristics have different environmental requirements, there are many subjects derived from which that warrant for further examination. With that, the study aims to further examine whether any variation exists among the viewpoint of the respondents toward their leisure motivation and constraints by adopting the serious leisure characteristic as the segmentation variables, and to sort out the current state of bicycle development and user characteristics in the Pingtung area in an attempt to provide a reference base on bicycle development in the Pintung area from the aspect of demand surveying. The study has distributed a total of 430 questionnaires, and recalled a total of 406 effective questions, and adopted the statistical software SPSS as the analysis tool, through which to instill a correlation model for each variable, which are put through the chi-square analysis, One-Way ANOVA, correlation analysis, factor analysis, with the research findings concluded as follows, The analysis shows that the differences in serious leisure characteristics vary ominously in the perspectives of activity objective, activity distance, time spent, and choice of routes.The analysis finds that respondents with a higher level of serious leisure emphasize most on “social” leisure motivation, and recognize the “individual inherent constraint” to be the highest among all leisure constraints, suggesting that there are indeed variations in the viewpoints among respondents with varied levels of interest. The higher the level of serious leisure, the stronger the level of emphasis will be on the “individual inherent constraint” and the “structural constraint”, while the correlation to the “individual inherent constraint” is found greater than that of the “structural constraint”. The correlation between the overall leisure motivation and constraints is not as high as expected. Keywords: Serious leisure, leisure motivation, leisure constraint, bicycle leisure participants
