The latest (2018) NCPS Inner West (2018)Participation<\/a> (a telephone survey)shows a significant increase in participation in cycling in the Inner West. 378 households were surveyed, with 820 occupants.<\/p>\n

Figures show a rise from 15.4% to 20.2% of residents who had cycled in the last week.(Figure 2.1) Approximately 39,400 residents ride in a typical week and 72,200 residents ride at least once in a typical year.<\/p>\n

Cycling rates are significantly higher in the Inner West than in the remainder of Sydney and NSW.(Figure 2.2)<\/p>\n

Males are significantly more likely to have ridden in the past week than females (Figure 2.3)<\/p>\n

Males over 50 are cycling more. (Figure 2.4)<\/p>\n

If you want to cycle more often, check out our three member groups, Bike Leichhardt, Bike Marrickville and Bike Ashfield<\/a>, who all organise regular rides and activities.<\/p>\n

Note added in March 2022: A State Participation S Survey<\/a> was done in 2021. It doesnt contain a Local Govt breakdown.<\/p>\n


\u00a0[Note added in May 2025] Inner West Council says in its Bicycle Strategy Action Plan 2023<\/a> that it will conduct biennial bicycle counts, but no results have been released. Some bike paths have rubber counting strips, but no data available as far as we know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre- 2018 IW Council participated in yearly Super Tuesday and Super Sunday counts, organised by Bicycle Network. IWBC supplied volunteers for the counts, which took place at around 20 locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the Active Transport Mode Shift Forum<\/a> in Marrickville Library in May 2025 a number of participants stated that base line data on cycling was vital to measure success or progress in encouraging cycling for transport in particular.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
