National cycling participation survey 2019: New South Wales

The National Cycling Participation Survey (NCPS) is a standardised survey that has been repeated biennially since March/April 2011. The NCPS provides data on cycling participation at a national level and allows for estimates of participation for each state and territory, and the capital cities and non-capital areas within each state and territory. The survey suggests that 12.9% (95% CI: 10.7% - 15.2%) of NSW residents ride a bicycle in a typical week. Just under one third (32.8%, 95% CI: 30% - 35.7%) had done so in the past year. These participation rates translate to approximately 1,033,400 residents riding in a typical week and 2,624,100 residents riding at least once a year. The cycling participation rate by residents of Sydney may be slightly lower, and for regional NSW slightly higher than the national average although the differences are not statistically significant when measured over the past week.
