As part of the Trial Bike ‘Ride For Tomorrow’ Initiative funded by the Victorian Government, the Department of Sustainability and Environment has engaged the research company Instinct and Reason to engage with trail bike riders to explore riders’ views on a range of issues relating to trail bike use of public land. Trail bike riding on public land, predominately non-metro national parks and state forest networks across Victoria has seen a surge of popularity in recent times, and as part of the initiative to make your riding experiences more enjoyable, safe and environmentally sustainable you are invited to complete an online survey which will be hosted online in March. The survey will investigate trail bike rider feedback on a range of issues. It will take about 15-20 minutes to complete and those completing the survey will have the chance to win a $150 gift certificate from Myers. Please note that Instinct and Reason is an independent research company and the confidentiality of your responses is assured. Instinct and Reason will aggregate the views and report back to the Department of Sustainability and Environment generally, and no information that could identify you personally will be disclosed. If you are interested in registering for the survey, please send email to trailbikes@instinctandreason.com by Friday, 6 March, 2009. When the survey is launched it will be sent directly to the email address you sent it from. Please ensure that you register your interest before the deadline date to ensure that you get to complete the survey. Please feel free to pass this information on to any other trail bike riders who may be interested in participating. Your input and views as riders are important to the success of this initiative – so thanks for giving it your consideration. thanks peter ellard Title: Re: TRAIL RIDER SURVEY Post by: Peter r on March 02, 2009, 09,49:00 AM Come on guys , make sure you register it only takes a minute, just tell them you would like to take part in the survey and press SEND.

Dennis Dorman Title: Re: TRAIL RIDER SURVEY Post by: Tim Dykes on March 12, 2009, 11,29:21 AM Got an email today with the link to the online survey. The link only works once so it's no use to post it up here. Had my say, see what happens next as there is a part where it asks if you wish to participate further. Title: Re: TRAIL RIDER SURVEY Post by: pez on March 12, 2009, 10,26:46 PM All done Thank you
watched 4wheel drive TV last night and now its starting to affect the 4 wheel drive guys around the otways. they had a representative for the victorian 4x4 clubs on and he was pissed at the DSE. I hope all this helps Title: Re: TRAIL RIDER SURVEY Post by: chrism on March 13, 2009, 07,37:36 AM I just did the survey, I going to have a gamble and say that the feedback in relation to the DSE isn't going to be positive!

That is an interesting point Chris. Some surveys seem to have pre-engineered results. In fact, if you word a survey in the correct way you can get pretty much any outcome that you are trying to achieve. We need be aware of this when answering surveys. And we also need to be aware that if we don't participate we cannot be heard.

I don't know were the questions originated from perhaps focus groups? Title: Re: TRAIL RIDER SURVEY Post by: Ian Robinson on March 14, 2009, 09,05:13 PM Many of the points in the survey were related to things discussed at the focus groups.
Ian Title: Re: TRAIL RIDER SURVEY Post by: Brad on March 15, 2009, 05,21:15 AM Guys,
I could not agree more I felt the survey questions had a tone of anti trail riding and that DSE may use it as justification and may never open the real results up to the public! Futher, where is the same survey for ALL of the other bush users like DSE, Parks Vic, 4wd's, loggers, fishermen, shooters, horse riders, mountain bikers, hunters, campers and bushwalkers. How can a survey with one group determine any outcome? |
