Title: Mixed Methods of Bike Counting for Better Cycling Statistics: The Example of Bicycle Use, Abandonment, and Theft on UC Davis Campus
Accession Number: 01333098
Record Type: Component
Abstract: The paper describes using a combination of different methods of bike counting to better understand volumes of bicycles, bicyclists, and bicycle thefts at the University of California (UC) Davis. In particular, police reports and bike rack counts were combined with surveying a random sample of the population in order to triangulate around total numbers of active versus abandoned bikes parked on campus, net movements of bikes over the course of a day, and the extent that bikes were being used as local circulator mode only and whether they were being stored on campus overnight. The results underscore the value of using a mix of different measurement methods, enabling UC Davis planners to better estimate the volume of abandoned bikes parked on campus (approximately 47 percent of overnight bikes, 31 percent of daytime bikes, and 23 percent of the overall rack capacity), the extent that bicycle thefts are under-reported (about 12 percent are reported), and the extent that bikes are used as a secondary circulator mode (about 20 percent of the bikes on campus on an average weekday).
