Cycling Promotion Fund - BUG Survey Findings

BUG Survey Findings

The BUG survey result is now available
Thank you to the many grassroots cycling organisations who took the time to fill in the survey. We are very pleased by the great response (77 completed the whole survey) which has enabled us to get an excellent snapshot of the great work Bicycle User groups around Australia are doing to promote and encourage cycling.

The survey finding also point out that there are a number of areas which BUG's would like support including access to affordable insurance cover, training, assistance with developing a website, access to publications and support material as well as regular updates on campaigns and cycling issues.

The Cycling Promotion Fund is currently investigating a number of opportunities on how we can address some of the identified needs.

Some of the things we are already puttting in place include:

We are improving the CPF website to make it easier for cycling organisations to locate our resources and publications for promotion and advocacy.
We are currently exploring opportunities to provide a website template for BUG's to make it easier and more affordable to have a web presence, including hosting options
We are exploring options to make insurance more affordable and accessible for BUG's
We are exploring opportunities for training as identified in the survey
We are currently setting up an e-news bulletin to enable BUG's and Club's to subscribe to a e-news letter to keep them informed about cycling issues, campaigns, resources and training opportunities

A number of recommendations require further exploration and discussion and we encourage people to register their interest if they like to become involved in a working group to explore those issues more fully.

Please contact Rosemarie Speidel, Program Director, Cycling Promotion Fund to register your interest. Initial discussion will be by email and phone conference calls (cost covered by the CPF).

If you like a printed copy of the survey findings please contact the CPF office.
