Attitudes, behaviors, infrastructure, and more: What makes biking better—or worse—for you?

Update: Responses to the questionnaire have been compiled for a new series, “Voices of People Who Bike.” The first post in that series, “Part 1: Who bikes, why, and memories,” was published June 14, 2023, followed by “Part 2: Encouragement, support, barriers, bullying”; “Part 3: Including, inviting, drivers, and inspiring places”; and on May 24, 2024, “Part 4: Infrastructure, socials, community, and more.” Look for Part 5—including responses about biking with children— to be published by the end of Bike Month (May) 2024.

If you missed the questionnaire deadline, you are still welcome to add your own voice! Share your input as a comment on any of the five Voices posts (linked below). Questions? Contact us.

Respond—by phone or email—to our questionnaire/survey about the joys and challenges of biking. Go to “HOW” below.

WHO: Wherever you live, and whether you’ve biked a little or a lot—or want to, but something is holding you back—you are encouraged to respond. The first respondents ranged in age from 12 to 82, and all ages are welcome.

WHY: Many things contribute to how welcoming, pleasurable, convenient, and safe bicycling is for someone, regardless of their age or ability. The combined responses will raise awareness about the impacts, positive and negative, of attitudes, behaviors, infrastructure, and more on whether or not people bike.

HOW: Copy and paste the password below, including the asterisks. Then go to the questionnaire (click here) and enter the password. (To prevent spam responses, the questionnaire is password-protected.)
