Survey about the types of road that you and children would cycle on.

[summerdays]

This isn't my survey but I came across it on twitter and thought it was worth posting on here and I'll probably put it on Facebook to persuade some of my non cycling friends and family to do it as well. As I would probably take children on more of the roads than they would.

It's cycling by Adults and children, being run by the University of Westminster

I'm intrigued by what sort of things you are saying. I would take an 8 year old on most of those roads but I didn't like the car lined road for other cyclists as I wouldn't trust a lot of people to stay away from the car doors, the fact that I would cycle well away from the doors means I wouldn't mind cycling down there myself.

But I'm assuming that a new cyclist wouldn't like some of those situations that I didn't have a major problem with. And some of the paths looked a little narrow if you are wanting to increase cycle use.

 

[welsh dragon]

I didn't like that one either.

 

[Saluki]

Done.

It's not about getting me to cycle and those used to cycling on city roads but how do you increase cycling in those groups that aren't cycling.

I used the comment boxes to point out reasons why I or others may not like the route. Personally I thought the most difficult was probably crossing the busy road. You'd probably be hassled by cars behind when you're waiting for a gap. I think that would be difficult for a lot of people.

This is the first survey on cycling which is actually sensible and very much superior to the usual primary school level we see usually

 

[derrick]

Done. but i can't see much changing.

Did my best not to answer based on the picture, but by the description. Most of the pictures were of dangerously bad cycle lanes...what a surprise :-(

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Done.
Had to point out the 20mph speed limit is rarely observed - here anyway.
The narrow road with cars parked both sides is one I've got locally, I avoid it at rush hour. It needs strong primary, still you get beeped and close passed.

That one of the cycle lane with no cars parked in it is a new one to me.
