Bicycle Network: Measure & Understand

There are a number of ways of gathering information on rider attitudes and behaviours.

Popular methods include:

Hands Up! school travel surveys

As part of the Ride2School program schools record how many students walked, rode or were driven to school on a particular morning.

Internet surveys

Internet based surveys are a great way to gather data on self reported rider behaviours and attitudes in your area.

Ride to Work program

The Ride to Work program includes a survey of more than 30 000 riders each year.

Telephone surveys

Telephone surveys are often used by local government to gather feedback from ratepayers and assess performance against benchmarks. They are a useful tool in gathering information about bike riding.

Travel diary

The travel diary system can be used to better understand riding trends.
