Make cycling safe. Make your mark on BikeSpot.
The BikeSpot map is now closed for submissions.
The map allowed every Australian to share where they feel safe and unsafe riding a bicycle.
You can still view all submissions.
Welcome
BikeSpot is an interactive map that allows every Australian to say where they feel safe or unsafe while riding their bike. Wherever you are in Australia, we want you to add your spot to the BikeSpot map.
Research has also shown that the key barrier to getting more people on bikes is how unsafe they feel when riding, particularly around cars. Monash University has found more than three-quarters of people are interested in riding a bike, but only when separated from cars, such as on off-road paths or protected bike lanes.
The aim of the project is to develop insights into perceived safe and unsafe cycling locations and contribute to prioritising future cycling infrastructure improvements. Data collected from the project will be de-identified and made publicly available.
The previous BikeSpot map from 2020 ran only in Victoria and received more than 31,000 submissions identifying key safe and unsafe locations across the state.
We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
