Description
Summary:This research highlights transport findings related to individual and observed behaviours and self-reported attitudes towards cycling in Sydney, Australia during COVID-19 social distancing and lockdown restrictions in May, 2020. An online survey with n=250 participants collected data pertaining to the question “*How has cycling behaviour potentially changed as a result of COVID-19?*”. Thematic analysis is used to summarise the changes documented by these individuals - such as increased number of cyclists, increased volume of families and children on roads, reduced traffic, increased imperative for new cycle infrastructure and potential new permanent changes in their commuting behaviour away from public transport.
