Adult Cycle Training Survey
Adult Cycle Training Surveys: help us track how training changes travel behaviour in Hounslow
We provide free adult cycle training sessions for Hounslow residents to help more people feel confident cycling for everyday journeys. The sessions support both beginners and improvers, who want to build confidence and develop safer on-road skills.
Why are we engaging?
We are engaging with residents to gather before-and-after evidence on the impact of adult cycle training. This surveys will help us understand whether participants were already cycling before training, whether they start cycling afterwards, and whether any car or public transport journeys are being replaced by bike trips. This will help us improve the training programme, understand barriers to cycling, and estimate carbon savings linked to changes in travel behaviour. The findings may also support future funding and programme development.
Who do we want to hear from?
We want to hear from Hounslow residents who are taking part in our adult cycle training sessions. This includes people attending both beginners and improvers sessions.
How you can get involved
There are two surveys. There is a survey for people starting their training and then there is a further survey we ask you to complete 3 months after you have completed your training. These surveys should take less than 10 minutes to complete.
There is also a downloadable copy of the surveys on this page if you prefer to complete a printed copy. Any paper copy should be returned to Arundhati Sharma, Assistant Transport Planner, London Borough of Hounslow, Hounslow House, 7 Bath Road, Hounslow TW3 3EB
If you need an easy read version or require a translation of either of the surveys, please email consult@hounslow.gov.uk or call 020 8583 2000.
Win a bike
Residents who complete both surveys can also enter a raffle for the chance to win a free adult bike. The winner will be announced in March 2027 and contacted using the phone number provided.
What happens next?
The Road Safety team will review the responses to see if there are any changes in travel behaviour and estimate any carbon savings linked to the programme. The results will be used to improve future adult cycle training sessions, strengthen our evidence base for active travel outcomes and help demonstrate the value of continuing to invest in free cycle training for residents. The results of these findings will be published on this page in Spring 2027.
