National Survey to understand how COVID is changing bike behaviours!
Bicycle Queensland have released a survey to find out about bike habits changing during COVID. It captures new emerging cyclists, as well as, us oldies. This will be a great data source for understanding how changing behaviours AND is the first in Australia (or UK or NZ or USA) that I am aware of. Kudos!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Text from Bicycle Queensland are thrilled to see so many people discovering (and re-discovering) the joy and benefits of riding a bike at the moment.
Bikes sales are booming and we're hoping people continue to ride for transport, exercise and recreation when the world returns to normal.
We need your help to ensure this happens. We need to gather data to support submissions to government. So whether you've recently returned to riding, are brand new or cycling is a regular activity for you - we need to hear from you!
Please fill in our survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RV6YQTM - it only takes five minutes. And then forward this email to a friend so they can fill it in too!
As an incentive, there are 5 x $100 cash prizes up for grabs to keep you rolling through COVID-19! The survey will close on Friday 8 May, 2020.
