We know it’s taken way too long to get these out (sorry!), but at very long last here are the results from the 2022 rider survey…

 

The headlines

  1. Ashton Court is a key riding area in Bristol, over 90% of respondents ride there and 50% said it was their favourite trail.
  2. There is a demand for more red trails, both flow technical.
  3. People view helping to maintain the trails and build new trails as Ride Bristol’s top priority.
  4. Lack of diversity is still a significant issue, however there is increased diversity amongst newer riders.
  5. A lot of riders want to see Ride Bristol do more to lobby/advocate for official access to wild trails, but a similar number want us to promote responsible access to nature and responsible riding.
