Pedalling for change: cultural geography for traffic congestion innovation

这个项目旨在提供新的知识，为什么在休闲自行车呈指数级增长的时候，通勤者骑自行车的数量却没有增加。该项目试图通过对媒体话语、政策以及最重要的是骑自行车者的经历的数据库的分析，提供关于骑自行车使人们能够实现什么的证据。预期成果包括加强对骑自行车作为对拥堵的反应的理解，以及改进政策战略，以增加城市中有目的的骑自行车，包括将重点从骑自行车参与率转移到骑自行车文化上。澳大利亚将受益于自行车作为一种交通方式的增长，以缓解大都市中心的交通拥堵。

This project aims to offer new knowledge about why commuter cycling has failed to increase at a time when leisure cycling grows exponentially. The project seeks to provide evidence about what cycling enables people to achieve through analysis of a database of media discourses, policies and most importantly the experiences of cyclists. Expected outcomes include an enhanced understanding of cycling as response to congestion and improved policy strategies for increasing purposeful cycling in cities including moving the focus from cycling participation rates to cultures of cycling. Australia will benefit from cycling growing as a mode of transport to attenuate traffic congestion in metropolitan centres.
