As the University wraps up its Let’s Talk Transport campaign, we wanted to share a new initiative focusing on cycling safety. Bike-Barometer 2020-2021 is a collaborative, international project led by the University of Valencia, with the University of Southampton leading on UK data collection.
There are clearly many factors contributing to cyclist-related road trauma; however, the end user can often bear the brunt of the blame. Bike-Barometer 2020-2021, which spans 15 countries, aims to look more deeply at this. Do people's cycling-related behaviours and attitudes really explain crash involvement? How are these factors, and demographics, related to each other? Should we even be looking at 'risk' in this way?
To help answer some these questions we would like to invite anyone over the age of 18 who has used a bicycle in the recent past and is resident in the UK (regardless of your nationality) to complete an online questionnaire, with all responses remaining entirely anonymous. The questionnaire takes around 15 minutes to complete.
Please enter the survey here to contribute to this international cycling safety project.
