Green Wheels is a dedicated membership program created to support bike stores and the bike industry in their efforts to minimise waste and contribute to the well-being of our planet. Launching in 2024 is our comprehensive directory of sustainable stores.
Our online survey
Here are the results from the online survey that we conducted with bike store owners and bike riders, an important guide to help us develop the Green Wheels initiative for bike stores.
Survey results bike stores:
Sustainability & Membership:
100% agree sustainability is something they care about, or an issue
90% confirm that waste in their store is an issue
85% cared the most about environmental initiatives to reduce waste, i.e. carbon offsetting, waste minimisation, 46% bike safety, and 38% donating bikes to disadvantaged kids
100% are either somewhat interested or very interested in a Green Wheels initiative
Survey results bike riders:
Majority aged 25-54, 65% male, 70% ride daily or weekly with all residing in NSW
50+ shop upwards of 5 times per year and 47% spend $100-500
66-80% were most interested in bike equity issues facing bike riders
Comments of note: ‘an early “initiative” to laying the ground work for policy change.’
Conclusions:
Sustainability is trending
Waste is a confirmed issue
The timing is right
