Whether you ride a bike, drive a car, or take public transit, city officials want to hear your opinion on cycling in London.
The City of London and Western University have launched an online survey to get a better understanding of bicycling behaviour and attitudes. The survey and the report to follow will be the most "comprehensive research ever undertaken on cycling in London," according to a statement from the city.
“We want to hear from cyclists, motorists, pedestrians and transit users,” said Jay Stanford, the city's director of environment, fleet and solid waste. “The information will help inform London’s next steps for cycling as part of our overall push towards sustainable mobility.”
The anonymous and voluntary survey takes roughly 15 minutes to complete and includes questions surrounding cycling frequency, safety, route conditions, opinions of cyclists by drivers, and the future growth of cycling.
The survey is intended to provide an understanding of social norms and facilitators to get more people out of their vehicles and onto bicycles in the city.
London has 220 kilometres of on-road or in-boulevard bike lanes, including the protected bike lanes on Colborne Street and King Street. There are another 175 kilometres of off-road, multi-use asphalt pathways for cyclists throughout the city, with an additional 4 kilometres to be installed this year.
