I. Introduction
Travel to and throughout Oregon represents is an important component of the state’s economy
and participation in bicycling activities plays a significant role in terms of trip motivation,
destination choice, and the associated travel expenditures. This report describes the economic
significance of bicycle-related travel throughout Oregon, documenting the magnitude and
distribution of economic impacts to the state and its residents.
Based on results reported from a detailed questionnaire, our findings show that in 2012
travelers participated in a variety of bicycling activities while traveling throughout the state,
including both overnight and day trips. Travelers who participated in bicycle-related activities
while traveling in Oregon spent nearly $400 million in 2012 – representing about 4.4 percent of
the direct travel spending in the state (see Oregon Travel Impacts, 1991-2012p).
Detailed statewide information on trip characteristics and demographics for each bicycle activity
type is also included, providing details such as the purpose and length of the trips, distance
traveled, travel party size, as well as other demographic and associated trip-related
characteristics are shown in Appendices.
Objectives
This study represents a comprehensive effort by Travel Oregon to document the economic
significance of bicycle-related travel in Oregon. No other previous research provides economic
impacts for bicycle-related travel in Oregon at the state or regional level.
This study provides a detailed description of the magnitude of bicycling from a recreation travel
perspective, documenting the various ways that bicycles and bicycling provide economic
benefits to the state and its residents. The findings describe the primary bicycle and cycling
related economic aspects of travel for Oregon’s economy, including:

Travel and recreation, both by Oregon residents and out-of-state visitors, focusing on
sales, employment, earnings, and tax receipts

Distribution of impacts throughout the state (by travel region)

Survey Method
Two separate data sets were gathered in 2012 in order to accurately assess the incidence and
economic significance of bicycle-related travel in Oregon.
1) An on-line questionnaire was distributed through sources identified with contact lists of
bicycle/cyclist participants including, though not limited to, the following:






Bicycle/cycling group rides and events around the state
Oregon State Park campgrounds (campers at hiker/biker sites)
Bicycling tour companies offering organized tours in Oregon
Bicycle organizations and cycling clubs
Bicycle shops in Oregon
Travel Oregon visitor inquiry list
Due to the targeted outreach efforts and self-selecting nature of the on-line format, respondents
were likely to be more orientated to organized group rides, sanctioned races, group tours, and
independent bicycle touring; and thus would not fully represent all bicycle-related recreational
activity while on trips in Oregon, although otherwise the data are very robust.
2) Through a household panel of Oregon visitors (conducted by TNS Global), we returned, with
a mailed questionnaire, to a sample of those travelers who participated in bicycle activities while
on a trip in Oregon. This national panel of randomly selected households is considered to be
representative of all Oregon travelers, including Oregon residents who travel in-state. While the
bicycle-related travel activity overall is a modest portion of all travel, this sample was used to
establish the proper weighting (by type of bicycle activity) for the much larger on-line sample of
bicycle/cyclist participants, as described above.
Overall, more than 5,000 bicycle activity participants provided information about their bicycle
recreation and travel experience in Oregon.
Types of Bicycle Activities Included
Based on the self-identified selections made by the survey respondents, this study distinguishes
among the following types of bicycling activities and events:








Organized non-competitive group ride

Scope of Economic Impact Analysis
The scope of the economic impact analysis includes all of the travel expenditures for trips made
in Oregon where bicycling activity occurred on these trips as planned – either as the primary
reason, or one-of-several reasons for the trip. Expenditures include all lodging
accommodations, campground fees, restaurant and bars, groceries, fuel and other
transportation costs, bicycle repairs and related clothing and gear, event fees, recreation, other
retail, and airfare (if applicable) for trips made in Oregon. Travel made by Oregon residents and
nonresidents for both overnight and day trips (50 or more miles, one way) is included.
Travel expenditures, based on average expenditures per travel party per trip, are calculated for
each of the bicycle activity types, as shown in Table I-1 below.

Bicycle-Related Travel and Party Trips in Oregon
In 2012, travelers took nearly 1.2 million travel party trips in Oregon on which some type of
bicycle recreation activity occurred as a planned activity – either as the primary reason, or oneof-several reasons for the trip. Bicycle-related travel parties include all visitors (adults and
children traveling together, and the number of travel party trips include both overnight and day
trips. A travel party trip may include more than one day or night at a destination. The length of
stay for the trip represents the number of nights (or days) at the destination (average for
overnight party trips: 3.6 nights).
Various types of bicycle-related travel party trips occurred throughout every region of the state,
which highlights the range and diversity of bicycle recreation that is important to Oregon’s
travelers. Bicycle-related travel generates economic impacts -- spending, earnings,
employment, and tax receipts – all of which supports local communities throughout the state.
Table II-1 below shows the number of travel party trips by type of bicycle activity, and Table II-2
shows the destination area, by travel region, where the diversity of bicycle activity occurs within
the state.
Direct Impacts of Bicycle-Related Travel in Oregon: A Summary

Oregon travelers who participated in a planned bicycle-related activity while on the trip
made travel expenditures of approximately $400 million in the 2012 calendar year. Total
travel expenditures are equivalent to approximately $1.2 million per day in spending
(total divided by number of calendar year days).

More specifically, travelers who participated in bicycle-related activities spent $174.6
million on accommodation and food services, $53.5 million on groceries, $71.5 million on
motor fuel, $31.9 million on bicycle/cycling event fees, and $27.9 bicycle repairs,
clothing, and gear.

In addition, this bicycle-related travel spending directly supported about 4,600 jobs with
earnings of approximately $102 million.

The bicycle-related travel spending also generated local and state tax receipts (lodging
taxes, motor fuel, and travel-generated state income tax) of nearly $18 million in 2012.
Detailed bicycle-related travel impacts for the state are provided in Table III-3 that concludes
this section.

Bicycle-Related Travel Expenditures by Region
Throughout Oregon’s travel regions, travelers made expenditures for both overnight and day
trips. Figure III-1 below shows the composition of overnight and day and expenditures within
each travel region during 2012. Overall, the Portland Metro, Willamette Valley, and Central
regions had the highest amount of spending. It is notable that travel spending for day trips
made in the Portland Metro and the Willamette Valley regions expenditures is more significant
as compared to the Central region, which was much more oriented to overnight trips. For the
Coast, Southern, and Eastern regions, travel spending was largely driven by overnight trips,
while the Gorge/Mt. Hood is somewhat more oriented to day travel activity.
