National Cycling Participation Survey

The National Cycling Participation Survey is unusual for Australia. It is a standardised survey that has been repeated every two years since 2011. Repeating the survey regularly is the only way to find and analyse trends. The survey provides data on cycling participation across Australia and estimates of participation in the ACT, too.

Cycling participation in Australia declines

Any decline in bike riding participation in Australia is alarming but sadly not entirely surprising. While bike riding across the world is continuously growing, Australia’s participation continues to fall away. Despite very well knowing about all the health and environmental benefits, our governments are reluctant to act.
