    Recreational Activity Surveys During COVID-19 and Comparison with Pre-Lockdown Activity Levels

    More people out on bicycles: Recreational activity surveys during COVID-19 and comparison with pre-lockdown activity levels May 2020 Measuring recreational activity in unprecedented times Lockdown in Victoria On 30 March 2020, the Minister for Health and Medical Research signed an Order for stage 3 lockdown measures to be put in place across Australian states, following a national outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The Order, which in Victoria falls under section 200 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act (2008)1, 2, places legally enforceable restrictions on all non-essential gatherings, as a means of minimising the spread of the deadly virus. During the stage 3 restrictions, there are only four reasons for Victorian residents to be outside: • purchasing food and essential supplies; • medical, care or compassionate needs; • exercise; and • work and study if they cannot be undertaken remotely2. How has this affected our recreational activities? An arising question is how these restrictions have affected the recreational needs of residents in Victoria and elsewhere. A recent survey by Bicycle Network3 found that, in response to stage 3 restrictions across Australian states: • 73 per cent [of respondents] are planning to use a bicycle to access essential services (shops, healthcare, work and education) in the coming weeks and months; • 84 per cent of healthcare workers said they would ride bicycles more or the same amount; and • Most respondents (39 per cent) said that they will be riding a bicycle outdoors to get their daily exercise. In addition, emerging data suggests an increase in bicycle purchases during lockdown restrictions4. These findings suggest that, given these increased needs for bicycle-related transport, exercise and recreation; Australian roads and shared paths may be exhibiting major deviations from normal bicycle traffic volumes.

    Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback

    Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback We have received a great deal of feedback already on cycling within Wyndham. We have considered these items when writing the strategy so far and will include them in an appendix contained in the final version of the Strategy. The appendix list will inform Wyndham City’s future infrastructure planning and capital works budgets, and any advocacy to State and Federal Governments for cycle infrastructure funding. We have included this list so that all involved in the consultation know what other community members have provided as well as what is being considered as input into the strategy. The responses have been grouped under common categories to keep like comments together. Safety/Blackspots Comments include: If it felt safer to ride - the traffic is extremely scary, sometimes. I prefer to have dedicated bicycle only or shared paths for safety reasons and for a relaxed enjoyable ride. I believe more people will be into cycling in Wyndham Vale if such dedicated bike trials exists. Tarneit Rd – at some points the cycle path is in service roads, and cyclists who are travelling straight ahead inexplicably have to give way to motorists who are turning left. Derrimut Rd – crossings at Sayers and Leakes Roads – but I believe these are going to be dealt with by VicRoads Derrimut Rd – Cycle lane on the Eastern side is in one direction only. It’s a busy road so lanes on both sides of the road need to be two way. Also, going under the railway bridge near Princes Hwy – the shared path is almost unusable and frequently covered in glass.
  • Shared Paths

    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.
