Welcome,
My name is Josh Forrest and I am an Honours Student at the University of Queensland in Australia and am completing a degree in Regional and Town Planning. As part of the Honours program, I am conducting thesis research to understand the relationships between perception and Public Bikeshare Program (PBS) adoption patterns. Specifically, researching what and how perception variables affect PBS demand between different cycling and PBS user/non-user groups.
I am inviting you to participate in a quick 10 minute online survey (click the link below). But before you start, please read the Participant Information Sheet (below).
Thanks for participating in my research!

WHAT'S WHEELIE WRONG WITH PUBLIC BIKESHARE PROGRAMS?
A Thesis Investigating the Relationships between Perception and Public Bikeshare Adoption Patterns
Investigators:

The research is expected to identify patterns in adopting PBS amongst groups with varying levels of cycling and PBS experience and amongst groups with differing demographic characteristics at a basic level (e.g. Age, gender and gross weekly income).
