Bicycle Network Super Sunday Counts
What’s required?
The role of the volunteer is to count recreational travellers (e.g. runners, walkers, bike riders) at a shared user path, record their direction of travel, and estimate their age. We provide ‘count sheets’ and instructions to those who register, so you don’t need to worry about explaining this to them.
Each volunteer will need to register through this link https://counts.bicyclenetwork.com.au/traffic-survey/185/ where they can pick a site on the map that is most convenient for them.
There’s a few sites left in Melbourne if anyone is interested
