Abstract:This report provides results of the 50+ Cycling Survey, Year 4. The survey, which began in late 2017, captures information on cycling habits, preferences and experiences of older adults who cycle. Taken as a whole, the 5,000-plus survey responses provide a rich database of information about older cyclists. The responses help answer questions such as who is cycling, when do they cycle and where, how far do they go, and how often. The analysis is premised on the fact that cycling remains a benefit for older adults. It contributes to their physical and mental well-being and offers mobility independence regardless of their ability to continue driving a motor vehicle. Thus, the analysis in this report can be used by transportation planners and engineers, public health professionals, those working on physical activity and wellness for older adults, cycling and aging policy advocates, and older adults themselves and their families.
