Queensland bike riding habits identified

Overview

Action 2.10: Investigate opportunities such as support for events, bicycle education, behaviour change programs and a public liability insurance scheme to support and leverage cycling community efforts to grow cycling participation, with a focus on women and children.

Lead agency: Department of Transport and Main Roads

Status: Complete

Achievements

We engaged local governments, bicycle riders, bicycle user groups, riding groups and community influencers to better understand the habits of Queenslanders and how to encourage more people to bike ride.

We researched best practice case studies, examples of bicycle encouragement programs and projects nationally and internationally, and undertook our own market research to learn more about riders and non-riders in Queensland.

We published our findings in 2 reports:

• More Bicycle Riding More Often – Research Summary Report 2018
• Bicycle Riding Typologies for Queensland – Full Report

Next steps

We will support community driven projects to get more Queenslanders to ride a bicycle.
