BikeSpot 2020 Top 5 Findings and Results

BikeSpot 2020 Top 5 Findings and Results

A lack of safety is widely recognised as the major barrier to people getting on their bikes. How it feels to ride a bicycle has an impact on people’s willingness to ride.

BikeSpot 2020 provided the opportunity for all Victorians to share their perceptions of cycling safety at different locations (by adding Safe or Unsafe Spots to the map via a web-based interactive map) and help develop new insights for the prioritisation of cycling safety improvements.

BikeSpot 2020 was developed by CrowdSpot in close collaboration with the Amy Gillett Foundation and 12 Government project partners.

Very good Anthony. I think this is one of the most important things to address here. Anyone can design a decent mid-block cross section but its at the intersections where us designers need to earn out money. Great job.
