The City of London and Western University are conducting an online survey to examine public opinions about bicycling and to better understand bicycling behaviour and attitudes in London. The survey and subsequent report will be the most comprehensive research ever undertaken on cycling in London.
"We want to hear from cyclists, motorists, pedestrians and transit users," notes Jay Stanford, Director, Environment, Fleet & Solid Waste. "The information will help inform London's next steps for cycling as part of our overall push towards sustainable mobility."
The survey includes a series of questions that cover many cycling and mobility areas including cycling frequency, what factors encourage you to ride a bike, opinions on cycling today and for the future growth of cycling, and opinions of cyclists by motorists and vice versa.
The overall intention of the survey and study is to understand social norms and facilitators to help get more people on bikes in London. Work of this nature was seen as a priority from the 2016 Cycling Master Plan.
Cycling programs and infrastructure continue to increase in London, most notably the recent opening of the King Street separated bike lane and the success of this year's London Celebrates Cycling events.
