DARWINITES are encouraged to get on their bikes - then get off and fill out an online survey.

Darwin council has launched an online survey to get feedback on the development of a Darwin Bike Plan.

"We want to hear from everyone who has an interest, from family leisure riders to daily bike commuters.

Even if you haven't ridden a bike in years, let us know what it would take to get you out and about again," Lord Mayor Katrina Fong Lim said.

"The aim of the plan is to map out an approach to the development of a quality route network.

"We will plan initiatives in line with budgets."

Ms Fong Lim said the council wanted input from the community to make sure the council and NT Government catered for riders now and in the future.

The Darwin Bike Plan will look at infrastructure, end-of-trip facilities such as showers and ways to increase people to ride bikes.
