Abstract

ISSUE ADDRESSED

Cycling participation rates in Australia and Queensland remain low. Rural residents typically do not have distinct cycling infrastructure available for use. Investigating current cycling participation and barriers to cycling engagement will inform future work to promote cycling engagement.

METHODS

Data were collected through the inclusion of cycling-related questions in the 2012 Queensland Social Survey.

RESULTS

The majority of the sample had not cycled in the previous 12 months (66%; n = 831). Significantly more rural residents reported not cycling due to environmental concerns (P < 0.05) and preferring other modes of transport or exercise (P < 0.01). Rural cyclists (31.4%; n = 113) had higher levels of cycling engagement in the previous week (41.6% to 32.6% urban; χ = 7.83; n = 420; P < 0.05) but lower cycling durations than urban cyclists (41.6% rural residents cycling for 30+ minutes vs 57.4% urban residents; χ = 8.25; n = 418; P < 0.01). Rural cycling engagement was independently associated with being male (OR = 2.34; 95% CI = 1.40-3.91); sufficient physical activity engagement (OR = 1.86; 95% CI = 1.10-3.15); and having children at place of residence (1-2 children: OR = 3.21; 95% CI = 1.88-5.49; 3+ children: OR = 3.01; 95% CI = 1.17-7.75).

CONCLUSIONS

One-third of all adults cycled in the previous 12 months irrespective of location; however reasons for not cycling varied by urban/rural location. Results indicate that environmental factors appear to be inhibiting cycling participation in rural areas. Advocating for government commitment for infrastructure development to support safe cycling across Queensland including outside of metropolitan areas is required. SO WHAT?: This research explores self-reported cycling engagement amongst a sample of urban and rural dwelling Queenslanders. Differences in cycling exposure and reasons for lack of engagement offer insights into what may encourage greater cycling participation.

摘要

问题陈述

澳大利亚和昆士兰州的自行车参与率仍然很低。农村居民通常没有可供使用的独特自行车基础设施。调查当前的自行车参与情况和参与障碍将为促进自行车参与的未来工作提供信息。

方法

通过在 2012 年昆士兰社会调查中纳入与自行车相关的问题来收集数据。

结果

大多数样本在过去 12 个月内没有骑自行车（66%；n=831）。由于环境问题（P<0.05）和更喜欢其他交通方式或运动（P<0.01），农村居民报告不骑自行车的比例明显更高。农村自行车骑行者（31.4%；n=113）在上周的自行车骑行参与度更高（41.6%至 32.6%城市；χ²=7.83；n=420；P<0.05），但骑行时间短于城市自行车骑行者（41.6%农村居民骑行 30 分钟以上 vs 57.4%城市居民；χ²=8.25；n=418；P<0.01）。农村自行车骑行参与度与男性（优势比[OR]=2.34；95%置信区间[CI]=1.40-3.91）、足够的身体活动参与度（OR=1.86；95% CI=1.10-3.15）和居住地有孩子（1-2 个孩子：OR=3.21；95% CI=1.88-5.49；3 个以上孩子：OR=3.01；95% CI=1.17-7.75）独立相关。
