Evaluation Of Bikesafe Scotland
Footnotes
1. Scottish Executive (2002) Road Accidents Scotland 2001, Edinburgh: Scottish Executive National Statistics
2. Some police force areas were unable to provide a completely accurate record of how many people participated in theory sessions between June and September 2002. This response rate is an approximation based on the figures supplied by the police. It also assumes that all participants during this period were actually issued with questionnaires by the staff running the theory sessions.
3. NB the definition of "motorcycles" in Road Accidents Scotland includes all two-wheeled motor vehicles, i.e. mopeds, scooters, motorcycles and motorcycle-sidecar combinations.
4. Spencer Broadley (2002) Motorcycling in Great Britain, London: DETR
5. Cited in LA Times, Mar 25 2001, 'A deadly side to the baby boomers' thrill ride'
6. Built-up areas are defined as roads with a speed limit of up to 40mph. Roads which are in urban areas but which have a speed limit in excess of 40mph - such as motorways - are not regarded as built-up roads. Non-built up roads are those with speed limits in excess of 40mph.
7. NB as a result of rounding, the row percentages here total 101% rather than 100%.
8. The totals sum to more than 100 as respondents could give more than one answer to this question.
9. NB these statements did not appear in the questionnaire in this order. Rather, negative statements were interspersed with positive statements.
10. NB respondents could give more than one answer to this question, so the figures do not necessarily total 100%.
11. The pictures shown to respondents are provided as Appendix B.

13. Applicants for Bikesafe sign a form stating that any information they provide can be used in conjunction with the Bikesafe initiative, so the provision of contact details conformed with data protection guidelines.
