There was a significant number of riders who wanted more on-road bike lanes. When asked how far they ride to work, about two thirds stated that they ride over 10 kilometres each way 'between towns' such as Belconnen to Woden, whereas only one third live and work in the same town, riding less than 10 kilometres each way. It appears that distance is no disincentive to commuter cyclists, although a few did mention that they would ride more if work was closer to home. The final question was what would encourage cyclists to ride to work more often. Many of the remaining answers stressed the need to have more time to ride to work, while a few made the point that if more people cycled then they would as well.
More information is needed about which offices have showers and bike parking available.
More direct bike facilities, both on and off road, are needed. There's a market out there for bike shops to sell new bikes. This all points to the importance of a coordinated approach to cycling, from government, businesses and cycle organisations, if cycling is to play a significant role in reducing car dependance in Canberra.
