Survey: What keeps you from riding in bike more often?
Hi Everyone! I am working on a project and I want to understand what keeps people from riding in bike more often?
Its a really short survey it will only take you 5 secs and it will help me with our project.
We want to present it here, together with other backing documentation, to the local government in my district in order to promote the usage of bicycles.
Thank you!!!

Probably not relevant to your goals, but definitely a meter of snow on the ground and a coating of ice in the few spots the bike paths are cleared.
In one word:
Winter.

Just laziness, or being tired that is a result of staying up way too late and staying in bed too long in the am

Cold weather. I hate having to stop and peel layers off to regulate my temperature. I rather have on but a single layer and that meets a temp of 65 f or better.

Lousy weather, mostly rain, sleet, snow or other forms of precipitation. I ride and bike commute year-round and cold temperatures don't bother me. But I don't like getting wet or riding on icy roads. Occasionally I will also skip riding due to extremely hot and humid weather during the summer months, but that's mainly an issue when temperatures rise above 100 F, which doesn't happen very often here.

Extreme heat and rain in summer and the city where I live Baton Rouge, La. has very few bicycling conveniences such as racks, dedicated lanes and so forth. Those who ride as a means of transportation in Baton Rouge are for the most part on their own as automobile drivers don't seem to know how to coexist with cyclists.
