1 Bikes Belong Survey: The Size & Impact of Road Riding Events November 2009 Recreational road bicycling events are popular all across the United States. Participants are inspired by the opportunities to improve fitness, have fun, and raise money and awareness for a variety of important causes. Bikes Belong conducted a survey of U.S. recreational bike-event promoters in order to estimate the size, number, and direct economic impact of these rides in 2008, and also to learn more about how these events benefit communities and causes nationwide. Here s what we found
2 Summary More than 1,700 U.S. recreational road riding events were organized in More than 1 million Americans participated in recreational road riding events in Total 2008 revenue from recreational road riding events topped $240 million. Two-thirds of these 08 rides were tied to a cause, raising nearly $200 million total. Riders spent nearly $140 million on food, lodging, and other purchases at these events. Recreational riding events are important to the communities that host them, the causes they support, and the bike industry nationwide. For little to no cash investment, communities can benefit economically from recreational bicycling events of all sizes. The $140 million in direct participant spending is only a portion of the greater economic impact these rides bring to host communities across the U.S. One study estimated that each ride participant generates $535 in direct economic impact, which would total $572 million based on our participation figures. 1 The majority of these rides also raise money for causes big and small. The average ride raises nearly $12,000 for charity, with some of the bigger charity rides bringing in tens of millions of dollars for worthy causes. The bike industry also gains from recreational riding events. These rides are often gateway events into the activity of bicycling. Participation in recreational road riding events is nearly 20 times the number of registered bike racers in the U.S. (55,392). 2 To get a sense of how the growth of recreational road riding events could benefit the bike industry, consider this fact: in 2008, the average participant in Iowa s RAGBRAI ride spent $950 on bicycle purchases specifically for RAGBRAI and $179 on bike clothing and accessories for the ride. 3 That s a total of more than $19 million spent annually on bicycle products for a single event. 1 The Economic Power of the NBTDA, Gluskin Townley Group, NBTDA Annual Conference, November 7, Active Member Demographics, USA Cycling, November 3, 2009, 3 The Economic Impact & Spectator Characteristics of RAGBRAI, Lankford, S., et al., December 20,
3 Methodology The purpose of this study was to estimate the size, number, and direct economic impact of organized U.S. recreational road bicycle events in Rides included in the study had to be organized, non-race, on-road events that occurred in the U.S. in These included events such as century rides, family fun rides, major charity rides (e.g. LIVESTRONG Challenge), and public bike tours (e.g. RAGBRAI). Events excluded from the study included randonées, brevets, mountain bike rides, weekly bike shop or club rides, road races, and private bike tours. Rides that fit the criteria but were associated with an event that was restricted from the survey were included (e.g. a century ride that was held in coordination with a competitive road stage race). Events were found through the following sources: USA Cycling: conducted online event search by state for all 2008 Cat F (Road Fun Ride/Tour) events VeloNews Race and Ride Guide: visited online listings provided on page 16 RunWalkRide.com: referred to Top-30 event figures, seven of which were cycling events Google: conducted online search for websites that list events, e.g. Alaska bike events, Alaska century bike rides, etc. State and local bike advocacy group directors: ed directors from 29 states and asked for event calendars 1,714 events were found to match the criteria for inclusion in the study. Of these, 1,399 had addresses listed. Of the 1,399 ride directors or contacts who were ed about the survey, 492 (35.2%) opened the . Just less than half (223) of those who opened the clicked the link to the online survey. The survey was created on SurveyMonkey.com and was open from July 7, 2009 to August 3, More than 200 ride contacts took at least part of the survey. After removing incomplete responses, non-2008 events, and other events (races, mountain bike rides, weekly shop rides) that did not fit the criteria, 156 responses remained, slightly less than a tenth of all rides found. Nine major charity rides were researched separately for their information, leaving 1,549 rides to be extrapolated. 3

7 How many people participate in these events? Big Nine rides (N=9) 178,896 participants Survey respondents (N=156) 121,011 Remainder (N=1,549) 769,549 TOTAL 1,069,456 participants More than 1 million Americans participated in recreational road riding events in Notes: Big Nine rides are from the 2008 Run Walk Ride Thirty Survey Summary and include Team in Training, Bike MS, Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, Tour de Cure, AIDS LifeCycle, LIVESTRONG Challenge, and Rodman Ride for Kids. The Audi Best Buddies Challenge and RAGBRAI are also included in the Big Nine but are not on the Thirty Survey Summary. Two events included more than just bicycle events and were adjusted to reflect the share of cyclist participation. Team in Training organizers would not provide their bike event figures nor the exact share of their bike participants, so their published 2008 totals were divided by 1/3, reflecting century rides being one of their three event types in 2008 (the other two are marathon/half-marathon and triathlon). LIVESTRONG Challenge organizers estimated their share of bike participants at 60%, so their published 2008 totals were multiplied by 0.6 to reflect the other 40% being running participants. Survey respondents were asked how many individuals participated in their ride. If they provided a range, the middle of the range was used. If they provided rider and volunteer figures, only the rider figures were used. Responses ranged from 10 to 20,000 participants. To extrapolate the remaining 1,549 events, the mean minus three outliers (20,000, 17,500 and 7,500) was calculated (497 participants) and multiplied by 1,549. 7
8 Entry fees and total revenue Total entry fees collected Big Nine rides (N=9) Survey respondents (N=156) Remainder (N=1,549) TOTAL $ 10,523,960 $ 4,263,672 $ 24,959,445 $ 39,747,077 Total revenue Big Nine rides (N=9) $ 211,013,333 Survey respondents (N=129) $ 4,203,808 Remainder (N=1,576) $ 27,425,552 TOTAL $ 242,642,693 Revenue from recreational road riding events totaled more than $240 million in Notes: Total entry fees collected was calculated by multiplying the number of participants by the individual entry fee, which did not include any required donations. If survey respondents provided a range for the entry fee, the middle of the range was used. If they provided a non-member and member entry fee, the non-member fee was used. Entry fees for the survey respondents ranged from $0 to $365. The mean with four outliers ($200, $200, $300, $365) removed was $32.42, and the median was $30. To calculate the total entry fees collected by the 1,549 remaining rides, $32.42 was multiplied by the mean number of participants (497) by 1,549. The Big Nine ride entry fees were researched online and through personal communication. For some, only the 2009 fee was available and was used. Entry fees ranged from $0 (Rodman Ride for Kids) to $170 (Pan-Massachusetts Challenge). Again, these entry fee figures were separate from any required donations. 27 survey respondents did not provide their events total revenue and were added to the remainder calculation. Two events gave their gross revenue instead of the total revenue. Total revenue for the survey respondents ranged from $0 to $641,000. The average with five outliers ($200,000, $330,000, $400,000, $475,000, $641,000) removed was $17,402, and the median was $10,000. To calculate the total revenue of the remaining 1,576 rides, $17,402 was multiplied by 1,576. Total revenue for the Big Nine rides came from the Thirty Survey Summary and from personal communication with the Audi Best Buddies Ride and RAGBRAI. As with the participation figures (page 4), Team in Training and LIVESTRONG Challenge figures were adjusted to reflect the additional, non-bike portions of these events. 8
9 Riding for a cause: donations What causes do rides support? Total donations Disease/health Institution Bike advocacy Bike trail, path, or other facility 9% 16% 18% 26% Big Nine rides (N=9) $ 180,286,667 Survey respondents (N=105) $ 2,438,959 Remainder (N=1,033) $ 12,294,766 TOTAL $ 195,020,392 Other non-profit * Community * Other club * Environmental Memorial Bike team or club Education * Housing * Animals * Other * 5% 5% 4% 4% 4% 3% 2% 2% 2% 1% 2/3 of rides surveyed were tied to a cause, raising nearly $200 million in Notes: 105 of the 156 survey respondents (67%) said that their event was held to benefit a cause. Respondents were asked the total amount donated to the cause, if any. Ten answered all or 100%, one answered 95%, and one answered 30%; for these responses, the percentage given was taken from the mean donation ($11,902). One respondent answered new kids bikes, which was converted to $1,500 for the study. The total donations distributed by events ranged from $0 to $641,000. The mean amount donated with four outliers ($120,000, $170,000, $316,900, $641,000) removed was $11,902, and the median was $7,000. Because only 2/3 of the events surveyed donated to a cause, only 2/3 of the remaining 1,549 events were assumed to be for charity. 1,033 was multiplied by $11,902 to get the donations figure for the remainder of rides. The Big Nine donation figures were researched online and through personal communication. As with the participation figures (page 4), Team in Training and LIVESTRONG Challenge figures were adjusted to reflect the additional, non-bike portions of these events. * These categories were not provided in the survey and were written in by respondents. 9
10 How much do participants spend at these events? Big Nine rides (N=9) $ 80,467,042 Survey respondents (N=139) $ 5,673,429 Remainder (N=1,566) $ 51,007,752 TOTAL $ 137,148,223 Bike riders spent nearly $140 million on food, lodging, and other purchases at recreational road riding events in Notes: Survey respondents were asked to estimate how much participants spend on average on the event outside of registration and donations, e.g. food and lodging. 139 of 156 respondents answered. If they provided a range, the middle of the range was used. Responses ranged from $0 to $500. Total participant spending was calculated by multiplying the number of participants for each event by the estimated mean participant spending provided by the event. To extrapolate participant spending for the remaining 1,566 events, the mean minus two outliers ($400 and $500) was calculated ($68) and multiplied by the mean number of participants (479) and 1,566. Participant spending for the Big Nine rides was estimated to be $400 per participant after personal communication with event directors. $400 was multiplied by the total number of participants for all rides except RAGBRAI (158,896) to get the total participant spending. A separate report on 2008 RAGBRAI participant spending was used for the RAGBRAI figures (Lankford, S., et al., 2008, The Economic Impact & Spectator Characteristics of RAGBRAI). 10
