Cycling
We are living in a city that is perfect for getting around in on a bicycle. Canberrans know and embrace this fact. Whether it is for fun or for transportation people in Canberra have more bicycles than cars per head of population, and we ride our bikes at least once a fortnight.
The ACT Government is keen to promote cycling. Cycling improves not only accessibility and efficiency of the transport system but individual health, and urban liveability. Promoting peddaling is also important for the local tourism industry and for our environment.
The Government currently spends about $830,00 per annum on cycling education, enforcement, maintenance and capital works.
The Department of Municipal Services has a number of plans in motion, encouraging cycling. Evidence from other countries shows that when cycling is actively encouraged, trips by bicycle are indeed much more frequent.
