Evaluating cycle promotion interventions 429 Jan Garrard vi Preface The genesis of Cycling futures can be traced to a workshop at the 2010 Australian Cycling Conference (ACC). For the past six years, Australian and New Zealand researchers, policy makers, practitioners and community representatives have convened in Adelaide, South Australia usually during the week of the Tour Down Under professional cycling race to share research, new ideas and contribute to a greater understanding of cycling in the region. As editors of this volume, we developed the original concept and invited the authors to contribute to this book. We appreciate the considerable effort made by each of our contributors and wish to thank them for their enthusiasm and patience as we have slowly progressed toward completion of the book. We would also like to thank the organisers, past and present, of the Australian Cycling Conference (now the Australian Walking and Cycling Conference) for providing the forum to share ideas and advance our knowledge of cycling in Australia and New Zealand. As this book goes to print, several Australian states and territories are implementing or trialling new road rules, such as minimum overtaking distances, to improve cyclists’ safety. Meanwhile in New Zealand the government has flagged spending NZ$330 million in the next three years on new urban cycling infrastructure. Researchers must critically evaluate these legislative and funding changes to ensure cycling can play a key role in the future of our cities and regions. Producing and sharing knowledge about cycling is a key element in enabling the growth of cycling. This book provides an overview of cycling research in Australasia today. It includes researchers and practitioners who have made cycling a primary focus of their work and those who have introduced cycling into their academic disciplines or professions. It draws people from a range of different fields — engineering, planning, landscape architecture and urban design, sociology, geography, public health, economics — and diverse theoretical backgrounds. This publication will be the first book to provide an Australasian perspective on cycling. Bound by the limitations of one volume, it offers a first step in capturing the broad and diverse knowledge about cycling in Australasia while recognising vii Preface that it has not been possible to include the full breadth, depth and diversity of work currently being undertaken. It is our intention that this book will contribute to a broader discussion of cycling in Australasia and about Australia and New Zealand internationally, informed by our experience and knowledge and help set the future cycling research agenda. Jennifer Bonham and Marilyn Johnson November 2015 viii Editors Jennifer Bonham Dr Jennifer Bonham is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Social Sciences, The University of Adelaide. She has a background in human geography specialising in urbanisation and cultural practices of travel. Her research draws on poststructuralist and feminist theoretical frameworks as it explores the relations between materials, bodies, rationalities and practices of travel. Since 2004 she has focused on cycling, conducting studies into gender, spatial distribution of cycling, road space and the place of cycling in Australian cities and culture. Jennifer is a Chief Investigator on the recently awarded ARC Linkage Project Cycle Aware: Driving with Bikes, which is examining how Australian driver licensing systems equip motorists to interact with cyclists. Jennifer is a member of the Australian Walking and Cycling Conference reference group and is a current member of the editorial board of Transfers: Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies. Marilyn Johnson Dr Marilyn Johnson is a Senior Research Fellow at Monash University. Her research focus is road safety and active transport specialising in cycling. She is also the Research and Policy Manager at the Amy Gillett Foundation (AGF). Through this unique combination of roles, Marilyn pursues research questions with academic rigour and translates scientific evidence into action on Australian roads. She has conducted numerous cycling-focused studies in Melbourne, regional Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory. Marilyn is a Chief Investigator on a new ARC Linkage grant that will investigate how urban road designs can be improved to further increase road safety. She is also a lead contributor to the Amy Gillett Foundation’s campaign ‘A metre matters’, which has resulted in amendments to the road rules in Queenland (2014), the Australian Capital Territory (2014) and South Australia (2015). ix Contributors Carol Bacchi Carol Bacchi is Professor Emerita of Politics, The University of Adelaide. She researches and writes in the fields of policy theory, feminist political theory, embodiment and citizenship, and mobility studies. Her work on policy theory draws on Foucauldian perspectives. She explores Foucault’s position on problematisation and elaborates diverse understandings of problematisation. Currently, with Jennifer Bonham, she is developing a poststructural analytic strategy for interview analysis. This work will form part of a new book entitled Poststructural policy analysis: A guide to practice, written with Susan Goodwin (available from Palgrave Macmillan in 2016). Wendy Bell Wendy Bell is an urban and regional planner and a retired architect with qualifications from the University of New South Wales. She has run her planning practice, Bell Planning Associates, based in Adelaide, since 1986 and specialises in the social and environmental aspects of planning and urban design. Her clients have included the private sector and all levels of government in Australia and New Zealand and her career in planning started in a British New Town where she managed Landscape Design and prepared Recreation Plans. She spent several years as a sessional lecturer and tutor in planning at the University of SA. Soufiane Boufous Dr Soufiane Boufous is an injury epidemiologist at Transport and Road Safety (TARS) Research, University of New South Wales. Soufiane’s research focuses on developing innovative methods of assessing the burden and risk factors of injury. He has extensive experience in injury surveillance and record linkage of injury data.

The editorial says, in part: “In an age where many so-called quality newspapers emphasise the fripperies of fashion – there is an endless obsession with lifestyle over substance in our rivals – the Australian remains true to its original mission.

  • The West Crowned Fastest-Growing Daily Newspaper Brand Print and Digital Audiences Surge 26.2% Year-On-Year
    Monday, 23 August 2021 The West crowned fastest-growing daily newspaper brand Print and digital audiences surge 26.2% year-on-year Seven West Media’s The West Australian has taken the crown as the best performing daily newspaper in the country, with its cross-platform readership surging 26.2% year-on-year. The West’s daily print and digital readership has grown more than any other Australian newspaper in the past 12 months, up 858,000 people year-on-year to an average monthly readership of 4.14 million. The data released today by Roy Morgan Research revealed The West’s huge growth in the past year is the biggest rise by any major metropolitan newspaper during the same period. The West’s print readership alone increased 23% year-on-year and The Sunday Times was up 40%. The West’s biggest increase was among people aged 14 to 29, which grew 89% year-on-year. West Australian Newspapers editor-in-chief Anthony De Ceglie said the incredible trajectory is the result of the company’s mission to “turbo-charge” its digital offerings by diversifying into audio and video. “I’m really proud of how we’ve transformed our online offerings to be world class. By turbo- charging our content to attract a wider and younger audience, we’ve hit new highs and cemented The West as a leading voice in Australia,” Mr De Ceglie said. “Our investment in original reporting and content has helped us because a significant force in the media landscape.

Despite this, bike 11 riding participation in the state of Victoria, Australia, is low. To inform planning and practice, there is a need to understand 12 the proportion of the population (the ‘near-market’) that are interested in riding a bike, and how this varies across regions. 13 The Geller typology classifies individuals into one of four groups, based on their confidence to ride a bike in various 14 infrastructure types, and frequency of bike riding. The typology has been used at a city, state and country-wide scale, 15 however not at a smaller spatial scale.
