  • What It's Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences
    Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute What It’s Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences Georgia Clare Scott This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University April 2018 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Human Ethics The research presented and reported in this thesis was conducted in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) – updated March 2014. The proposed research study received human research ethics approval from the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00262), Approval Number # HURGS-14-14. Georgia Clare Scott 23 April 2018 iii Abstract Sustainability research recognises the role transport plays in shaping cities, and the destructive consequences of automobile dependency. As a low carbon, affordable, healthy and efficient transport mode, cycling necessarily contributes towards making cities more liveable and sustainable. Research thus far, however, has failed to fully engage with the experiential aspect of mobility, missing a window into both the liveability of cities and the success or failure of the transport systems within them. In response, this thesis explores how people’s experiences cycling in urban environments can be understood and used to inform transport policy. Its objectives are to contribute better understandings of urban cycling mobilities, and how such understandings can inform Australian sustainable transport policy, by comparing Western cities of high and low cycling amenity through using a combination of semi-structured and go-along interviews.

  • Shared Paths
    Shared paths – the issues They [cyclists] go ‘whoosh’ as they go past, and often the “ paths aren’t very wide, so this notion that you have to share has to come with more thought. If there’s not enough room it’s not a good match. If it’s got to be shared it’s got to be wider. Or separation between them.” Quote from focus groups with Victorian seniors (Garrard 2013) Thank You Victoria Walks would like to acknowledge and thank the following organisations who provided source information and feedback on the initial draft of this paper. • CDM Research • Frankston City Council • Wyndham City Council • Malcolm Daff Consulting • City of Yarra • Cardinia City Council Victoria Walks would also like to thank Dr Jan Garrard, VicRoads and officers from the following councils, who provided comment on the draft – Ballarat, Bayside, Boroondara, Brimbank, Dandenong, Latrobe, Macedon Ranges, Manningham, Maroondah, Melton, Moonee Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Nillumbik and Surf Coast. Finally, Victoria Walks would like to thank the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) for facilitating engagement with councils.

Appendix 1: Shared Walking & Bicycle Paths Map 36 9. Appendix 2: Strategic Cycling Corridors 39 10. Appendix 3: Community Consultation - Engagement List 40 11. Appendix 4: Community Consultation - Crowd Spot Report 41 Mayor’s Foreword Building a city that values, supports and enhances the health, happiness and wellbeing of all Greater Dandenong residents is one of Council’s most important priorities when planning and developing services, programs and infrastructure for the future. The Greater Dandenong Cycling Strategy 2017-24 aims to raise the profile of and participation in cycling as a desirable and effective means of both recreation and transport. As a form of transport, cycling is a low-cost, environmentally sustainable choice that eases traffic congestion and relieves parking pressures. As a way of getting fit cycling is low-impact, suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, and is an enjoyable social activity in which the whole family can get involved. As a way of making cycling easier, safer and more accessible Council has already installed more bike parking, upgraded street lighting, and in some cases redesigned community spaces to encourage people to walk and cycle more in their neighbourhoods. With the Greater Dandenong Cycling Strategy, Council will implement a number of actions that lead towards a future that will see enhanced cycling infrastructure, resources and activities. As Mayor of the City of Greater Dandenong I am proud to support the development and implementation of this Cycling Strategy and look forward to seeing Council’s vision of a more active and more connected city unfold.
