This study investigates various pro-environmental behaviours and their relationships among bicycle tourists. These behaviours encompass preferences for cycling and walking, energy conservation, waste separation, and environmentally friendly tourism product purchases. Additionally, the study investigates past carbon emissions due to motorised transportation as bicycle tourists and their moderating effect on indicated behaviours. According to the results obtained from structural equation modelling, the adoption of carbon-free modes of transportation for environmental purposes is significantly related to segregation, conservation, and environmentally friendly tourism product purchases among bicycle tourists. The result shows evidence of behavioural spillover among bicycle tourists. Furthermore, the study reveals that the moderating effect of past motorised transportation usage is particularly pronounced in the case of segregation behaviour. Finally, the study calculated the minimum overall carbon emissions rate for an individual by transportation and discussed potential reasons.
