Impact of climate change on bicycle counts.
- 1. School of something FACULTY OF OTHER Impact of climate change on bicycle counts Zia Wadud, PhD DIC University Research Fellow Centre for Integrated Energy Research Institute for Transport Studies, and School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering
- 2. What are the plausible ranges of changes in hourly/daily bicycle use due to climate change? Objectives What would be bicycle flow today, if we had the changed climate of the future?

- 5. Rain: Reduces flow; clear non-linear impact Temperature: Increases, then reduces flow after threshold temp. Wind: Reduces flow, non-linear impact Snow: Reduces flow, large impact Sunshine hours: Increases flow Humidity: Reduces flow Impact on weekend/leisure cycling generally larger Result: Count Model: Weather Effects Summary

- 8. Substantial, sometimes non-linear weather effects on cycling Net climate change effects on cycling positive, but marginal Strong seasonal effects: Substantial increases in summer Conclusions
