  • IBC Report Belfast
    A STUDY OF INTERESTED BUT CONCERNED CYCLISTS BELFAST 2021 HOW INTERESTED? HOW CONCERNED? Contents Introduction 3 Summary9 Report15 About IBCs 16 Opinionsoncycling20 Culture 24 Equipment28 Geography32 Barriers36 Interventions39 References42 Appendix44 This project was funded through the Department for Infrastructure’s Road Safety (Safe Travel) Grant Scheme. 2 Introduction In 2005, in an attempt to get a better handle on attitudes toward cycling in the City of Portland, USA, Roger Geller (2009), Bicycle Coordinator at Portland Office of Transportation, created a typology of Portland’s citizens. These are the 4 types he defined and his assessment of Portlandfig. ( 1) 1.Strong and fearless (citizens who cycle); 2.Enthusiastic and confident (citizens who cycle); 3.Interested but concerned (citizens who don’t cycle due to concerns, but they’re interested); 4.No way, no how (citizens not interested in cycling). 1.Strong&Fearless 2. Enthusiastic & confident 3.Interestedbutconcerned 4. No way, no how 7% 60% 33% Fig. 1 – Portland , USA Interested but concerned “Interested but concerned” (IBC) are the largest group. They are interested in switching brands – willing to try something different – in this case bicycles instead of cars. However, they have concerns/fears about “people driving automobiles”. Geller’s assumption was only safe, segregated cycle infrastructure (on a macro level) could remove the fear associated with cycling and significantly move the needle to the right – into the IBC category. This study isn’t an argument against cycle infrastructure – cycle infrastructure is key in moving the needle rapidly to the right. This study tries to understand who the IBCs are in greater detail.
