... 64 Changes in Comfort, Safety, Willingness to Try Cycling, and Actual Cycling Behavior The purpose of maintaining consistency in much of the survey between Wave 1 and Wave 2 was to allow for comparisons between the two waves and to quantify change. The purposes of this chapter are to investigate changes to the perceptions and preferences studied in Chapter 5 (perceived comfort and safety and willingness to try bicycling)

... 66 Bicyclist Facility Preferences and Effects on Increasing Bicycle Trips Interpretation of perceptions of the environment can easily get convoluted as perceptions can depend just as much on the subject as on the environment. Results from Chapter 6 suggest that the treatments prompted perceived improvements in the bikeability of their neighborhoods, though the results from this chapter indicate that individuals' perceptions for hypothetical scenarios did not predictably change based on observations of their environment.
From page 67...
... Changes in Comfort, Safety, Willingness to Try Cycling, and Actual Cycling Behavior 67 a substantial portion of respondents gave incomplete responses on mode choices in either or both waves of the survey. Commute data are particularly incomplete, as roughly half of respondents in each wave did not have a commute.

... 68 Bicyclist Facility Preferences and Effects on Increasing Bicycle Trips Summary Respondents were presented with many of the same questions in the second-wave survey as they were in the first-wave survey. Responses for many of these questions were compared for the two waves, the most notable of which were questions of perceived comfort and safety and willingness to try bicycling on hypothetical roadway configurations and reported frequency of bicycling for commuting or other trips.
