About
This FACT indicates the number of people that use bicycles to commute to work per 100,000 persons in each capital city. Because of the large urban sprawl, wide roads, and hot temperatures in Australia, bicycles are used less frequently as a mode of transport compared to other countries. It is estimated that, because of health, traffic, and infrastructure benefits, cyclists riding 20 minutes to work and back save the economy approximately A$21 per day.
