Abstract
Increasing the amount of safe cycling in our communities will enhance the well being of all Australians. An increase in cycling will improve transport access for many Australians, increase levels of individual health, and reduce greenhouse emissions, air pollution and congestion. Cyclists and non-cyclists alike will benefit from lower health costs in the community, less traffic on our roads and cleaner air. Australia Cycling provides the framework for the delivery of programs that will increase participation in cycling. The Strategy contains deliverable objectives, with clear targets, timeframes and responsibilities — its implementation will ensure that cycling can play an important part in our transport system.
