City of Melbourne Measuring Success and Identifying Rider Needs

Oct 07 The City of Melbourne has just released the inaugural Melbourne Bicycle Account – Cycling Census 2007, delivering on an identified action as part of their 2007-11 Bicycle Strategy.  

Lord Mayor John So said "The Bicycle Account reports the progress of the City of Melbourne’s Bike Plan 2007-2011. It is a summary of  cyclist behaviour, a snap-shot of infrastructure and safety standards and a cyclist opinion survey. With cycling growing and evolving at such a rate, Council has committed to an annual Melbourne Bicycle Account. This is the first of these annual publications."

Bicycle Victoria and riders also played a big part in providing the data and feedback to help build the Account through the BikeScope which over 1,800 people responded to.

This document will help the Council better understand the riding environment in the City of Melbourne and help support future intitiatives.

The City of Melbourne Report is available here
