With the end of the fuel excise looming, it's never been more important to prioritise bike infrastructure.
Riding a bike is affordable, sustainable and good for your physical and mental health. With the wealth of legal e-bikes and cargo bikes on the market, it's also an excellent transport option even for those with reduced mobility, or children or bags to tow.
More than half of Australian car trips every day are under 5km — an easily bikeable distance. Bikes should be an easy swap for many, but the existing infrastructure is riddled with gaps, or in some cases just doesn't exist.
We want to make active travel the easy choice for everyone, but we can't do it alone.
