If we want to see more bicycle riding in Queensland, we need to understand the behaviours, motivations and barriers
to getting more people on bikes.
More bicycle riding, more often in Queensland summarises important and extensive research undertaken in 2018, that put
the spotlight on Queenslanders and their bike riding behaviour.
We reviewed secondary sources, ran stakeholder engagement and conducted primary research with people of all ages and
abilities across Queensland to better understand the attitudes, behaviours, barriers and enablers that affect bike riding
in Queensland. From this research we have created typologies to help us bring the personas to life.
The research summary report will help people working in active transport behavioural fields, educators and community
groups involved in encouragement programs to identify the right audience, with the right activities and key messages to
help grow bicycle riding in Queensland.
