Abstract
Benefits of investing in cycling in New Zealand communities provides information about the key benefits of investing in cycling, for councils, communities and individuals. The benefits include: * more liveable towns and cities; * improved conditions for travelling within towns and cities; * stronger local economies; * reduced costs for councils; * less impact on the environment; and healthier and more productive people. We also know that that providing cycling infrastructure responds to what a significant percentage of people say they want. More information about the benefits of investing in cycling will be added over time to build this as a shared information base. (Author/publisher)
